I like metal.
I need a place to store info and have a build. This will be the spot. I also want to try and keep this under $1500.

The engine is going to be rebuilt by a friend of mine. I don't plan on doing anything crazy. I'd rather have it reliable than fast. But I hope to remove the past owners rattle can paint job and do some detail work to clean the engine up a bit.
The forks are undecided at the moment. I'm waiting to see what comes up.
I'm not sure if I'm going to purchase the David bird Loop tail or attempt to make my own rear end. I may try both. A friend of mine from Peacock Groove will be doing all of my final welds. After a lot of thought I think I'm going to leave the rear end stock length with a small rake on the front.
I have pics but they are not worth posting. Just a pile of parts.
