Joedog, was it in a recent issue, because I haven’t seen it in there yet?

Leg warmers and a sweet head band (dot approved.. of course) are my preferred riding gear

Thanks again for the comments guys, I was obviously going for a different look with this 650 chop, and I really wanted to build a leaf spring for the first time. I was at the Harley dealership the other day and there was a group of 1 percenters there and they were asking to sit on it, it was surreal.

Have been following this site for quite a while now and never commented, but this is without a doubt one of my favorite bikes yet. Nice work man.

Compliments Richard ! Great details, like the footclutch set-up and those fendertips are awsome. Tank reminds me of the Detroit bros. Wish you a lot of fun with this ride!

Thanks for the comments guys. I didn’t do anything to the motor except pull the oil filter out and switch from points to electronic ignition.

1 of a kind. everything on the bike is cool and worthy of praise. it’s funky and kooky and it all works. other than the oil filter mod, did you do any work to the motor innards?

Crap, I just bought a Rapido tank three days ago to go along with the trailer leafs I have for my next build. Scrap that idea. Somebody always beats ya to the punch! At least I haven’t seen anything like my current bike, which should be up on here within the week.
