curtis- it’s off a 83 it175 cost me 20 bucks but 125 to make it work 17mm drill bit to drill out the brake hub & speedo gear 20$ bearings 20 cable 20 new shoes 25 tire 40…so all toll i’m into it for 145…lol & i snagged the perches off a parts bike we had or i woulda had to buy those too, i might have been able to cheap out on a few things but once i had it i couldn’t resist making it work & i do have the original rim & tire i could sell to get back some of the money it’s mint…

sean- titled motor won’t do any good u need the vins on the frame if u got one without a title & know someone in NH that will register it for you like 50 bucks they can sign it over to you then your good to go to the reg down here & yup, still parting bikes we got cb stuff but no 450’s, 400’s tho search ebay our store is east coast cycle parts or email me purerockfury01@yahoo.com & i’ll send ya the link

ARGH!!!…this things kicking my ass right now, i’ve been working on cars & bikes as long as i can remember but being my first real ground up build of a bike there’s a huge learning curve but it’s all knowledge gained for my next one! frames painted and trying to reassemble it right now…

That headlight looks really nice upfront. The front overall is pretty rad. I dig the front tire choice.. I definitely want to see how this one turns out. Thanks for sending in the pics man.

NICE job!!

And have fun with those pipes! let us know what you end up doing…… cause ya they’d def be custom after your first tight corner. Myself I’d slash them horizontaly (left to right rather than up and down) with the ground just in front of the engine and just below the top of the frame rail, but before the end of the curve. lol…

my brother has his stripped down as well. he’s doing some finishing touches then his frame is off to the powder coater …

The 21 looks good , I’m just worried about your being able to corner whith the ground clearance.I dont think it would hurt the looks any if you had to rase the front forks a little.Everything else looks great, Cant wait to see your paint and it flying down the road.
