            Hm... all that engine rebuilding with trick parts and he seems to have forgotten to get a dyno reading of its output. Perhaps it wasn't as good as it should be.

              Does a "high-performance" machine like that Harley really need to post dyno numbers to declare glory?

                  He might not have overlooked any details, but he sure passed on many of the basics.

                        Never seen a seat setup like this. Looks as if it would catapult the rider like an ejection seat.

                          Is there enough shock travel for the seat to hit the rear tire?

                            I didn't think about that. Boy if those bolts broke it would drop you right onto the tire. Shinko wedgee....

                              Nah, not a wedgie. It would be the same as sitting your bare ass on a thickness planer.
