Hey, first of all I like your bikes. What tires are on the "bobber" style bike and how do you like them?

shinkos front and rear. they work good, rain handling was a lot better than I expected.

rode my bike to work, it sucks to park and realize you wont ride for the next 24 hours,

a little fuzzy.

Seeing pics of your bike on here gave me the insparation to do this to my bike.

Here is what it looks like now





Here it was stock

again great pics. Might I suggest a profile of the bike and the truck. Thegreen against the red should make for a great shot.

Just wondering how far off the ground the bottom of the frame sits? I'm starting to plan a gs450 chop now and it looks like in order to level the bottom of the frame it will have to sit just under 7 inches off the ground. Is this the case in your build?

The bike looks awesome!

What modifications did you do to the carb for the pods and open exhaust? Did you just increase the main jet to 130 or did you do anything else?

Thanks for the reply, that is where I will start then (130 main jet). I am new to these bikes do you know of a good source to purchase the correct jet from?

Thanks,
Ryan
