Looking Good, Q ? do you have clearance for your tank with the return hose's going over the halo instead of under ? on my gen 4 i need to run them under the halo. is there more room under the gen 3 tank ?

Myself I have not got that far, (Algavas pics directly above) but will let you know as soon as I figure that out for myself later this week

Stoked Today, Good old Jeff came through big time tonight.. He is a true craftsman..

Built the headstay and man it came out nice.. real nice, matter a fact I am going to sleep with it under my pillow tonight

Check it out, the holes are tighter than the factory head and stay holes and it fit the first time(no egged out holes) Super happy with this headstay

Started as this Block of Aluminum

Man I WANT ONE OF THOSE!

Totally SPIFFY! really nice peice of work.

I dont know? It might be kinda hard to do them without the bike being right there do to variances.. I could not believe when he took it over there after drilling the holes and all the bolts went right in first shot nice and snug.. If i would have done it they would be egged out and sloppy lol

:::EDIT::: there was another post here a minute ago asking if he would make more

X2 That thing is sweet how much machine time does he have in that?

Looks like I might have to make mine like that.

I'd take that thing to bed with me and tell the wife look I've got a new toy and watch the look on her face.

Thats not a headstay, its an offset leafspring hanger off eriC's Jeep 4x4

it does sortof look like a spring shackle.. Well going out right now to blend the frame then start putting the bike together.. Maybe tonight it will run:D

Posted: **March 10th, 2010, 9:27 pm**

Almost got the bike completely Together.. Just need to do a few odds and ends.. coil, exhaust, pull shock and clearance cases for spring movement, ans put back on clutch cable.. Got tired tonight and decided to relax and watch TV

heres my frame blend, Need to replace that clutch cover hahaha

Posted: **March 11th, 2010, 2:06 pm**

Finished!!!!!!!!!!! Went and rode it a few minutes ago.. It does indeed have less vibes then the steelie had and feels way more flickable.. Completely ridable.. Now it is time to start the dialing in of the bike for my meaning suspension, stabilizer, wheels tires and what not.. So stoked right now..
