Just reg lever man. Although a foot clutch and jockey shift was considered!

[goosehd]

That's a combo I've always wanted to try.  Those old guys were nuts.  Drum brakes for the rear, no front, open primaries, Suicide Clutch and Jockey Shift, raked out bikes and crazy long springers.  My buddy used to ride one and he said that he ran into stuff all of the time…Half of the time it was so he could stop. 

oh and they bored out the heads to the point where he has chunks of one on his shelf as a conversation piece.  Blew up while he was riding it...

We think she'll be ready by the end of May. Then who knows how long the paint will take. Hopefully Haraki can speed things along

[Dmart]

Great, that’s fast. It will be amazing

Just coming across this thread. Looks like it's going to be great. Any plans for the exhaust system,and was that a car tire on it originally?

We're going with short slash cut pipes for this build. It's an Avon m/c tyre, we're keeping that one.

[Olly]

Oh hi sexy..

[Dmart]

Nice!

[J-IV]

Mmmm.. that stance is mean. Real nice!

[Olly]

Starting to shape up now. She's getting oil lines and wired up this week… Those with a sharp eye will see that we have now gone with a cobra seat. We think it looks way nicer than the flat solo seat. And check out the slash pipes - she's gonna be loud!

[goosehd]

@Olly How are the rules for noise in the UK?  Around here, you would be pulled over all of the time…Love the look of the pipes, but not sold on the seat...

edit: Are you going to be riding with a passenger?

[Jett129]

With that seat ,feel like a sissy bar would look good.

[goosehd]

@Jett129 nailed it.  Would fix the lines (aesthetically).
