I actually quite like it raw as it is, I can't seem to think of a colour that would go with the bike! Black...........???

Hey man, that things got patina! Leave it be.

Paint.....yea have not got a plan for that...thought about some red oxide primer....but it is raw for now! I think the bike is begging for a flat black hot rod primer paint job.....but damn that color has been done OVER AND OVER AND OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here are the foot clutch pictures that you requested deadchef.

Kinda suprised no one has noticed that I am not running a cover spacer with that 200 tire......got some tricks going on with the clutch worm gear that allowed me some extra room.

Go for gloss black and brass/gold the pipe/circular inserts/cutouts and hardware, and brown leather on that seat. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....................

 

[deadchef]

care to share the worm gear mod?

 

[Rumblechop]

I added 3/8 of an inch to my clutch push rod, I then machined the cover some and screwed the worm gear out some to make up the difference(after removing the washer and clutch cable lever from it)....its hard to visualize. I am not running the stock worm gear retainer thingy. I wish I would have taken some pictures before I put it back together.

This is the write up that got me going on the foot clutch conversion, I deviated from this write up to add clearance for the 3/4" offset sprocket however.

Only a couple days left to vote, so you chopper underground members go cast your vote! I am currently in the lead but not by much, it could definately go to one of the other guys. There are some nice bikes in the running.

That clutch conversion is one hell of a job.
I can see that it's not going to be performed by the average guy.

i like the way you think dude. Few things i would change to make everything flow better but i love outside the box thinking.

 

[SolidLex]

Seriously. That's some creative stuff there.
