Thanks for the compliments guys. I’m not sure what stretch/ drop the hardtail is. We just set the axle plates where we wanted and went from there. The forks are 3″ or 4″ under, I can’t remember. The kicker is a Harley arm welded to the XS boss, and I handmade the pedal from a chunk of aluminum. The velocity stacks are off ebay and have a bigger ID then the carbs so we made custom rubber inserts so they fit nice and tight. Jim and Turd, you hit the nail on the head- flow and proportion are 2 of the most important things in bike building for us.

Found it pretty strange myself when I read it this morning, thought maybe they were some sort of foreigner. Who knows?

Is it just me, or did those posts by WT read like a randomly computer generated reply?

Sick build guys! I love the paint and the overall look. One question though, can you explain how you fabbed up the kicker? I’m working on a ’72 chopper resto/mod and I had the idea of using an old Harley kicker arm and welding it to the base of the original XS kicker (currently my kicker hits the right side exhaust pipe in the up position). Looks like you did the same thing with your kicker, but for different reasons. Never seen anyone else do this with their kicker. Can you explain what you did?

Great build. What stretch/drop is the rear end? How low are the forks? The bike flows flawlessly.
