finely got a bit done this week widend the swing arm and had a new axle made just need to figure out how im gona widen the frame and i mite hack up the fender this weekend

Hey Mike, Just thinking out loud here mate. If you were to put some extra length in that swing arm wouldn't that help with some of the frame clearance problems you have? I don't think it would hurt the look of the bike at all. Looking good anyway dude.

yeah that could be some thing to look at alwayse open to sugestions im gona have a better look at it on sunday i think

Hey Mike, whats a set of those pipes worth mate????

o havent realy put much thought in to it
i think theres about 100 bucks worth ov parts and 5 or 6 hours labour i can supply the parts if u wanna have a crack your self
