Hey all, glad Trent pointed me here. Im justb starting to play with metric bikes for real & have been needing to find to good forums to learn & gab on.
Yes, this was a lower budget, not enough time build, that I totally loved.
The oil tank, it accually setup to have 2 gas lines in top from tanks, & 2 out bottom to a vacuum pump to carbs,& a sight guage on left that isnt done yet. A few lil detail need tweeking.
The exhaust was really fun to do, I used the Biltwell kit, it is killer. It comes with 2 tight, & 2 lose u bends & plenty of strait. The muffler is .120 2" tube. Loved adding the brass, never done that before.
It sounds like 1000cc 2 stroke free reving, and deepens up nicely when riden.
Id love to make a leaf spring front end eventually. This bike would love one. But building it in a few weeks, at night after work (I have a real job.....kinda) with zero budget kinda limits making a front end from scratch.
Materials, tube, bushing, spacers, making a jig to properly make front end, etc etc, Id guess Ill spend 500 bucks, & an easy 40-100 hours making a front end from scratch. I so want to & will as time permits.
Anyhoo, glad to find this place, I like it.
Jeff
