got the frame done today,i think the hardest part was relocating the rear brake lever. most climbers just do away with it but if you find yourself wheeliing up hill you can tap or ride the brake to keep the front end down without loss of momentum like clutching or backing off the throttle. this motor was way wider so i had to make a bracket to bring it out 2-1/2 " i will post some pics after i get it cleaned up from all the welding spatter and burned paint.

I gotta build an aluminum tank, the pump will likely suck this lil plastic one shut. Need a tank?

Crazy. I wish we had big hill climbs up here in British Columbia.

I ride street bikes and have a cr 500 and ktm 300, but I think I'd be alittle nervous holding that thing to the pin up some of those hills. Alot of power between your legs lol.

Good show keep up with the pictures.

i tell ya what, going up is great, coming down sucks if you make it to the top there is a nice trail. but if not you have to bulldog it all the way down. its a workout for sure. its like wrestling a steer.

man i am getting so sick of ebay, i won an auction for the cdi box for the cbr at 22.00 a week later i get an email that he cannot find the cdi and wants to refund my money... i call the bullshit card out on this guy. i am sure he got a higher offer and sold it out from under me. man i hate these kind of people. a deal is a deal. just like the 44mm mikuni i bought. all the pics looked perfect out of the box new. i get it and it is covered in grease, corroded inside to the point where the main jet seat was rotted thru. i paid 50 bucks for nothing. frustrating. grrrrr.
