I like the wwtire! what is the brand name for the tire, did you have to install a new rim for the new tire? the ww tire looks much more wider.

Nice, but could you make pics at least a little bit bigger ..... Once you enlarge them, there's not much difference compare to the ones posted here ....

been forever since an update. been romodeling my home so not too much done, but... i did the carb needle mod, and added the 16 tooth sprocket, ditched the exhaust and wrapped it, and rejetted, extended the backbone of the frame and modified the wishbone to hold a harley peanut tank, and i finished my seat some time ago, but didnt get around to pics, so here it is as of today.. and its back apart now doing a neat little modification that im sure you guys will enjoy. just a hint, 12'' extension of the "what used to be swingarm", turning it into a real rigid, and dropping the seat 6''... low and long baby!
