My app on the phone has been messing up lately. It’s been timing out and not listing hardly anything on my end. Sorry for the double posts. I don’t know what’s wrong with it. Errors poppin up all the time on it

Not to fret, it happens to most of us, are you feeling at home now?
Yeah. I worked on the frame a little today. Raked the fork another 18 degrees and fabbed up the motor mounts for the 1000cc. Now I just need to figure out how to fab up the single sided swing arm.
Just upgraded my '07 Street Bob to a '12 Street Glide, doing some rope work on it too!

NEAT !!
I’m a Harley Driver but not a Harley Snob - I ride with all Irons but most of the time I ride alone.
Another 18 degrees - you must be a big boy.
6’1" but I’m not raking the forks for that reason. I’m going with a streamline look for it. Just don’t want everything compacted together like most stock bikes. The handle bars are going to sweep back to me instead of stretching to grab a hold to them.
Watch the rake, if you add oversized tubes(long) the steering will start to get squrily, also you will have to find a wal-mart to turn around! Ya might want to think about some offset brackets to mount the front wheel as well as a tube clamp to stablize the fork tubes. There is some real seroius math involved in getting it right. A buddy of mine built a kz1000 like your talking about and used a “girder” front end. He had to install wheelie bars on the bike to keep it down. He had a real problem with the front end wanting to skid(the front end twists to the stop and the wheel skids like a plow) even the smallest patch of grit,sand,small gravel would do it. Just some thoughts.
I’m making a single fork w/ gas shock for the front end.

Ok, I got it now.Looks like that will take some custom work. Should look cool. I guess I’m too old school for that, well more like home school looking at some of my past projects.
Haha. I just want something different and one of a kind. I’m still working on the drag truck. Engine was finished on my last hitch. I have too many projects going on as is
Speaking of trucks,When I get some “mad money” put back, my next project will be a 1952 or so M-37 Army Dodge. It’s got to get better mileage than my F350 diesel dually!
If you move down this way I’ll be happy to help ya with it. I get bored on my 28 home.
Does my specialized stumpjumper count? It cost about what many new dirt bikes do haha, and you still have to pedal it
I ride a Fuji Reveal 1.0. 
Nice man, what kind of riding do you have in your area? Lots of up and down or more low rolling stuff?

Excellent - nicely done
Another for the metric camp. I have a 1984 Honda Magna V65. 1100cc of pure power, and it still handles the twisties well.
Also have another one an 86 getting ready to sell. It is nearly ready.
