Very cool 'doro!
Not the easiest thing to extend a swingarm for a bike with a driveshaft.

The versatility aspect is pretty sweet too.

I don't ride bikes. . . IF i did, I'd probably ride one of those.

those are sweet.

Awesome bikes Jim! You need to take those to the motorcycle swapmeet at veterans stadium in long beach.

My neighbor and I tore apart and rebuilt a 1992 HD Heritage Softtail Classic and a 2002 Road King a few years ago. He didnt have enough space in his garage for both bikes so I /kept and rode the softtail for at least a year. We did most if not all of the maintenance on the bikes, oil changes, clutch replacements, electrical work, etc.

I'm currently in the planning stages of building a bike or maybe just buying one thats already dressed, there's some awesome deals out there right now. I'd prefer to build my own but the cost between a custom build and a complete running bike is twice as much.

Make sure you get that new game clip before you start getting into a bike!

What do you spool that thing with? Looks like it would be great with 65 spectra.

Looks like fun.

Funny you should mention that.

Great work Love how you made the rear swing arm and the shock.. Only thing I would add would be rear fender.. Unless you want a nice strip of dirt on your back. or worse a rock hitting you in the head lol..
But realy man thats great work. Something that few people can do.

my hat off for you...
