Here is my first build so far. I'm changing the bracket on the front mount to steel... Anybody see anything that needs attention?

The custom tensioner bracket looks cool and unique. I like the rear disk mount too.

Thats great tvc
I still remember my first ride on a motorized bicycle, I was just like this dude right here 
Took her out for her first long ride in Newport or, hwy 101... Smooth and fine and a little adjustment or two
Your build looks really good. Glad you have success! I really like the chain tensioner bracket. Did you make your own fenders? I don't run any chain guards or fenders because I kept getting breakages on the chain guards. If you have some really heavy duty fenders though, it makes the bike look much better.
That is a good point. I wonder if anybody has ever actually lowered the compression on one of these (by using a spacer or machining the combustion chamber in the head), maybe using a longer intake tube with it or changing the timing.
I remember reading about an Indian (country of India) motorcycle racer who used Dremel tools to cut grooves in his cylinder heads, which cut knocking and prevented lugging the bike even in top gear at very slow speeds. It was in Popular Mechanics a long time ago.

Looks beautiful. Sometimes the heads do nothing to performance, sometimes they actually can lower performance because the engine is fighting the added compression. Have fun and ride safely!
very cool, where does a guy find a front disc mount for a springer like that, i have been looking for one of those.
