Kawabunga are you coming to Portland from St. Paul MN ?
Finally finished my build! Thanks, again, for all the help from everyone on the forum!
Headed to The One Moto Show in Portland this weekend if anyone wants to see it in person.
The inspiration.

Well man you nailed it! Before you said the Triumph was your inspiration, I was thinking how much it looked like one! Great job!
I really like it!
Agree with Bob, you 'nailed' it.......
also: thanks for the parts you sent me.

This picture was taken while I was changing over from a solo seat to the king and queen. I picked up a set of spokes to swap over when Im not being lazy, and Ill eventually pick up a set of rabbit ears. I used to have an interesting jocky shift with a hand clutch setup but with no front brake the wife made me scale back on the sketch since having a kid.
Kawabunga. Effing sweet build! Can you provide details on the rear frame/suspension? Did you modify a handtail frame or bullied it from scratch?
Absolutely beautiful!!
I might have to rethink the swingarm on my speed twin build. Did you lengthen the wheel base?
Thanks for the reply. I'm using a GSXR750 shock and keeping the original pivots, so the shock is more vertical. If I'd lengthened the base, I coulda mounted it like yours. Hmm.... might have to rethink my softail.And, Jim, I didn’t actually answer your question... Yes, the hardtail kit lengthens the bike by a total of 3”, I think? Details are on their product page.
Hate to be a pain... but what's the center to center on the mounts on that Kawa shock?
Oooooooooo, PURDY!
I'm particularly fascinated by your front master cylinder reservoir. Looks like an old manual oiler. Got a closeup of that?

Great job! I really like the pipes and front fender braces.
All I can say is be ready for the 2021 Calendar Nominations. Your in for sure.
