Did you think about adding some rake to it? Once the tubes are up again it will bring the front back down and give that old drag bike look. I am working on a dragbike build now that will be very old school. Laydown style. Twin aluminum tube tanks on the backbone. Trying to get the dimensions right before the start. Yours looks like it is off to a nice beginning.

yeah i was think'n about it but when i didnt use the flipped head idea. i just went ahead and slammed the front and tuck the frontwheel in real close. i'm digg'n the over all look now i just need to finish it up.here's a shot of the new pipes.i got to clean them up yet but they fit and look better to me

Cool to see someone using Amals.
Let us know how they run after you get the jetting sorted.

well i didnt win the aco but i had a F'N ball at the smokeout! 1st badass shovelheads are realy hard to beat and i meen BADASS! 2nd No metric has ever won the single class format ACO.
with that said the bike ran ok the jets and slide where just big enough to run the scooter at the rock and i havent ran a jockey shift on a bike for like 10year so i stalled the bike a few times but it made the run we had to do and i was happy as hell about that! thanx for all the support and help from everyone here. Now i got to get my custom tank fixed and put back on and get the carbs tuned rite. again thanx
The taillight is a 69 flh turn signel that i worked over and the paint was done a few years back by a local painter, Oh The stroy on the hammer, the hammer was a gift from the local tattoo artist/bike builder and is to let the "sons of airhockey" types know that the indy guys got the tools for "tune ups" also!

Really fantastic job.
