This morning the Engine went into the Frame!

What a great feeling when this happens as you know you are in the home stretch when this occurs....

Now- I can detail my final to-do punch list this afternoon and get all of the small details finished up.

Right on track to get the oil and fuel added late next week to kick this beast over for the first time!


This bike has such an awesome stance as I was able to add a little over 2 inches overall to the height and to extend the wheel base just about the same.

Bike fits me perfect and will provide plenty of comfort for those ALL DAY rides that are coming up!


The thing that really makes me feel good about this project is, I was able to reuse every major part from the original bike and or from my part stash... This bike is far from perfect but it captures exactly what I was visioning back in March.



Lots of pic's so sit back and enjoy-


Here is where this poor girl started out:
