Stock 16/19 wheels, rear shocks slightly longer (from Mikes, not the longest ones he sells), front end lowered about 3/4″ by raising the forks in the clamps. Tires are Maxxis Promaxx front and rear.
Update: took bike out for first official ride. Very fun, loud, quick. I may have to keep this one.

@ Shawn

What size wheels/tires are those (brand of tire?), and did you change the rear ride height any?

I keep coming back to pics of your bike as the direction I want to go with my project.

@ Shawn – The paint looks great. It is the same color green as my car. “Tranny doesn’t like to find neutral- too late to fix that.” You probably already tried it but you can adjust the clutch by a screw underneath the chrome cap next to the gear selector. Adjusting it could help with finding neutral.

2-1 exhaust is loud. Definitely not a Sunday morning kinda bike. Exhaust sits rather close to rear brake pedal, had to rotate it up a notch on it’s pivot. Took it out on the road a few days ago.What a difference when compared to my ’09 ER-6n Kawi. Feels archaic, but is pretty quick. Tranny doesn’t like to find neutral- too late to fix that. Can’t wait to take it out on a longer ride.

I love choppers but at the same time I have ridden sport bikes and know that they are a lot of fun. This bike looks like a ball and biscuit. I can picture it with clubmans or going more dirt tracker style but either way you slice it I would love to ring this one out on a nice curly road…

Paint came out real nice, great job. One of the nicest street trackers I’ve seen. How do you like the 2-1 exhaust? Nice fork brace too!
