It would be pretty easy i would think. It might get tricky if you go too wide cus then the engine would have to be offset to line up the chain

Or run an offset front sprocket like the drag guy's.

A lot has gone on since my last update.

First, painted the wheels and frame and got the bike back into a roller.



Then the motor went back in as well as a few other parts.


Played around with some paint on the fender.


Test fit.


Went crazy on it a few days last week and threw the rest of it together.


And here it is today on the maiden voyage into the QC. The bike feels absolutely awesome to ride, especially after seeing it for the last 6 months in pieces in my garage. I decided to ditch the rear fender because it just looks too cool with out it. Also the muffler fell off going down a country road and i lost it into a bean field..... so looks like its open header from here on out 8-)


There are still a few things that need to be addressed like paint on the tank and i need to figure out how to tune the carbs because they are badly out of whack. So ill be posting a few more pics with the final changes/tweeks.

Thanks for looking

What's this supposed to mean?

Low and loud. Gotta say, it looks pretty sweet.

Oh, hey, never Armor All that seat.

If it were my bike I'd keep my wallet straight down the middle of the back of my pants. Little extra padding just in case. LOL

It means beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Jack Sprat and his wife and all.


I do however, think a rear fender may be in order. One ride in a downpour and you may agree.
