well i think i re-broke my knee last night. SUCKS. So im just waiting on my shock to arrive.

Well from the looks of your avatar, it seems like you like to ride the bike pretty hard. I hope the new swingarm/suspension setup will take the abuse.
I've been wallowing in my own chaotic and insecure delusions.

19 eh !!!! Move over bike builders of America. Great job. It will be nice to see it finnished.

Broke your knee again. ? ?. That sucks.

Very good work done thus far although I'd be too afraid of not being able to find parts if I messed it all up.

you dont even have a subframe anymore lol. While ur at it, why dont u paint ur engine too? everything looks pretty radical. good luck man, we're all waiting on pics, and get that knee checked out! swelling thats more than 3x = doctor visit!

Wow, nice build



Like the courage in your design. Takes a lot to cut it up like that. Hope it turns out like you want.  [thumbsup]
I'll update this later at a convenient time Thank you for tuning in.....

Hopefully that'll stay that way - at least with this crowd  ;D

It takes a lot more stones and vision to actually fab up custom work, weld and chop things, and make a bike your own than to customize a bike with some farkles, carbon fiber, and shiney bolt-ons from catalogs, so if anyone has anything negative to say ... F'em  [wine]

Keep up the good work!  [thumbsup]  [beer]

thanks everyone, i like comments.

just so you know. Im fabricating 2 aluminum subframes, one normal, one bobber.

Im trying to find some high temp engine paint in or near the gun metal gray color? any suggestions.

While your waition on pics, im waiting on a shock. Once it gets here i can build my suspension linkage, and progress on my frame.

No more doctor visits for me. Im already 3k in debt cause of this knee and i cant afford any more visits. Keep in mind im 19 years old.

Thanks so far guys, remember i love comments.

Ya i was on the old board and realized there were alot of good guys on there. I was sad when it got bought.

I though i would be pissing off some extreme ducati guys by sutting my frame in half, guess they havent found this thread yet.

I think its cool people buy parts and spend TONS of money on their bikes, its just not me. I have to physically change the bike big time. I want something that NO ONE has.
