so my bike was a tade unstable with the extreme angle of the forks i built. i was fine on it but my friends were a little wobbly and last saturday my gf wanted to ride it so i showed her a little and she was doing good then she got a touch cocky and went a few blocks away. she was going down a hill and seriously flying (im guessing, she swears she wasnt) but anyways she got the speedwobbles and ended up flipping the bike, her leg got all ****ed up but that was the extent of her injuries thank god.
as for the bike the only damage was the gas tank got a few dents but thats it really. i decided that enough was enough with the extreme low rider style and decided to rebuild it a little bit more bobber/rat style.
all i did was cut the lower chain stays and extended them by about 5 or 6 inches, rerouted the exhaust a little bit, and then put some stock forks back on it. also built a chain tensioner for it, think im gonna redesign it to a spring loaded type though tonight at work, we'll see... anyways heres some pics of.
and yes i built the vast majority of this bike inside my apartment, except the welding which i did at my gf's moms house where i keep my welder haha
