I see you got one of those Hutchinson Low Rider tires on the back. I got two of those tires at WalMart and then they seemed to have disappeared. I haven't ridden on mine yet; good tire?
Also, where did you get your layback seatpost?

...here is a link to a thread where you can see we have a member who makes heavy and lighter duty layback seatposts for very small money, i paid $15.00 plus $10.00 shipping for mine and i couldn't be happier.
, bozoThat bike looks freakin awesome. Soo clean. Btw what forks are they. Would love to get a set. Thanks
very nice buttoned up build!
the only thing I would say is get a clamp for your muffler because without one it WILL crack / break the studs off your motor.
what tires in the rear? they look great!

Nice! Looks super clean... where'd you get that fork? is it one of those micargi ones from bikebuyers?
The only original parts on her are the frame, crank, and chainguard. It's a 66 with a lot of time invested in portwork. All gaskets are exact matched for no restriction. The air filter is an Empi available at the local motorcycle shop for 11 dollars. The K&N equivalent was 37 dollars more, so easy choice. Spark is with Ngk boot and NGK BR6HIX plug indexed toward piston. Exhaust is stock with wannabe honeycomb catalytic removed. I picked up the forks from a buddy who has his own bike shop/boneyard at his house, they were a take-off from one of the 250+ bikes he has. I welded the seatpost after being unable to locate any I liked. The handlebars are from a Harley-Davidson kids chopper bike, mounted upside down. Grips are ProGrip model 860 for 19 dollars at moto shop, Very similar look to regular motor kit but soft, comfy, and Italian. I also used a motorcycle throttle slide because the kit ones are junk. The Chain roller is a two bearing urethane motorcycle chain roller, kit ones are junk. 32 tooth sprocket in rear. 8 amp hour 12 volt battery, 35 watt halogen headlamp, LED tail and brake, Blue LED accent lights to light up motor in parking lots at night. 26x2.35 rear/26x1.75 front tires. Rims:steel with 12 gauge spoke rear/alloy front. Memory foam for butt. did I get it all?
