yes it is but with it all the way forward and full compression i have 5/8" to spare

 

[Colin Green]

here i am on my bike

The bike is looking great. But having to stretch up and forward to those bars doesn't look like a very comfortable posture. Have you got a set of 6 inch risers with a 6 inch draw back? I reckon it would be a heck of a lot more comfortable.

Really like the wheels. They look real cool with the white around the outside. Might pinch that idea.

Missed that. Geeeze! ya wouldn't want to accelerate fast or you would be a very unhappy little Eunuch.

That's a very interesting bike. I love the rear end treatment and where you're going with the wheels and suspension. The fat bob tank looks out of proportion to me right now but I'm thinking it'll look a lot different when it's painted and looking more part of the bike as a whole. My hat is definitely off to your fabrication skills! Very good job so far and good luck with the rest of the build.

thanks, everything on my bike i fabricated. they were quite easy to build but i am need to build a new foot peg mount these are solid mounted and i have had one close call the peg touched was not very fun so now i am making a flex mount for the pegs.

 

[Diablo1982]

so i put the muffler back on trying to get the tune right with still no luck then it hit me (when my coil went out) its electrical. so now it sits waiting for me to save enough cash to buy a dyna 2000 set up. but heres a pic of the muffler

so now its back to the way it started still looks good

 

[saltcitytattoo]

so got my rear fender mounted finally

and i have started on my new seat much more comfortable
