    Kenny,

    I could look at your "before and after" pics all day. Very inspirational.
    Where do you find the time?

      I'm with Bubba on this one. I work the 8 - 5 like most other folks, but find that the 5 - 12 just ain't enough to get done everything I want to.

      Seriously cool stuff though! And I want your garage!!!

          Nice looking bike.

          Noticed in these photos that you hacked out a good bit of frame structure and replaced with one skinny backbone frame tube. Removing the rear suspension is going to result in significantly increased loads being feed into the frame...and this backbone tube you installed. Hope like heck you are a good welder, and at least used 4130 tubing instead of just mild steel for that tube.

          Again, the bike looks nice...but it scares the crap out of me.

              Rooster--That is the stock one, I just filled it full of holes to make it look faster, LOL.

              Nessism--It scares the crap outta me too
              I lugged the inside of that top weld and the inner tubing is a good 5-7 inches on both sides of the joint. I have faith in what I did, although I will keep my eye on that sorta stuff. I have built/fabricated quite a few bicycles and nothing has ever failed on those, but then again, they didn't have 850 cc's tucked in the frames either. Like I said, we'll be keepin' an eye on stuff

                            Hopefully get out this weekend and get a few pics of me on it, out on the road.
                            My wife said she would take out the time to do it for me.

                              Hey Kenny. Glad to see ya over here. Saw your bike on the JJ. How does the bike
                              sound with that open exhaust? I was thinking of putting a different exhaust on mine but wondered how loud it would be.

                                ha I seeing how it rides really and how your weld hold up. Because i'm thinking about going the same route you did. But am worried that the swing arm will case problems
