I like most people have seen a lot of nice starts but no follow up. Whatever their reasons may be that’s how it goes. I still appreciate the build, and see a lot of nice ideas.

My apologies, I thought you could voice your opinion and make comments on how you felt. Had I known doing so would have people try to run you off the site I would have kept my mouth shut. If all some people want are comments like(cool bike,man) and kiss someones ass then I am on the wrong site. Most posts on here I like some I don’t, but I feel I should be able to voice my opinion accordingly. I really like the direction this build is going, but it leaves me hungry for more pics.

What did you use for the mono-shock? I love the lines of this bike.

this site does exactly what it’s supposed to do………if your bored with looking at builds, in any stage of completion, then by all means look elsewhere…….this in my opinion is THE site for xs 650 builders…….ideas abound, ripe for the picking……if you can’t gleen something from this site……….then your not looking……..

I agree with CrackerJack, I have seen a ton of bikes I couldn’t wait to see finished but never get an update on. I dig rollers but love to see the end product.

When I first saw the pic, I almost closed the window immediately. Then I noticed the mono-shock setup. Not really my thing but I do appreciate being able to see it without anything else on the bike to cover it up. The only problem I have with rollers and early stage builds is never seeing an update.

It’s nothing personal at all. With all due respect to the many fine works on this site, there is no place to make general comments.
It’s just a pet peeve of seeing a continuous stream of rollers and early stage builds.
So much so that this is my last post, I’m not visiting the site anymore for this reason.

A lot is missing from this pic, u are right. Id like to see it as a roller.

I’m proud of my gas tank cap. I like shinning it and looking at it, it gleams. Staph, I don’t care what you say if you can’t see the potential of this, that’s more of an insight to you and who you are. Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I think Stephanie is a little harsh, but were all entitled to share our opinions on this site which is one of the things I like. However like myself and many people who venture here, were on a budget and proud of what we’ve got or done to our bikes. Keep up the good work. I think you’ve got a nice start.

Part of the process is appreciating the process!

Wow, another pithy remark from Stephanie. Way to go!

You only need to comment to be entered into the contest.

Next someone should send in pics of a tank laying next to a set of forks for a feature.
