    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I picked this bike up for free as previous owner wanted to make it in to a bobber and had no clue what he was doing. after removing all the back ally mods like a chain link connecting system for the rear brake to a forward set of pedels I started to strip the bike down. Custom seat intigrated led lights, no air box and lots of other mods I have a quick light shafty. Loads of fun to ride.
 
Looks good!!

I dunno about "light" though..
How does it run?
What year is it?
 
Here, easier to see:

Hopefully you don't have annual inspections in your state. That tail light is creative, but hardly legal. :oops:

Hey Steve, when you gonna build you one of these things?
Ya know ya wanna..
 
Tail light

Tail light

As for the tail light. British Columbia does not have annual inspections. they are super bright. Intigrated turn signals are easily seen. better then the stock.
 
Im real interested in knowing if or how well the bike runs.
Have a friend of a friend with a bike that spent lots of money and time making it look good but never could make it run correctly.
He sold it running like crap..
 
It runs great did the dyna jet kit with the pods. the pipes are an after market performance pipe of a 2004 triumph thruxton 900 flow is great.
 
Pipes off a 2004 triumph thruxton. Aftermarket. Nice load deep sound.
 
I relocated the battery and electronics under the seat bubble. Went with a sealed battery with smaller dimensions. more cranking power.
 
The bike in total i put about $300 into it. seat, paint and tank did myself.
