you suck.

no, really.

i am so far beyond jealous, it ain't even funny. how did i miss this thread so far? i want friends like you have!

oh yeah, if you post up the measurements on the frame, we'll get them made into plans and posted, even if i have to do it myself!

keep rocking' it man, it's looking' beautiful.

take care,

SELF INTRODUCTION: Hi Dan, thanks for your time and energy spent on this new board. I hope you will give me a waiver on the email account, I have used gmail so long I don't have a clue what my service provider account is.
I just returned home from a 2 week trip in New Mexico, have a few good pix, can't wait to share my off-highway traveling. Got to put 1400 miles on the scoot.

Best, Bob Davidson

Curt did you get that motor in yet? Is there any measurements I can help you with? It should be easy enough to get them from that stock frame but I have a lot of notes I can dig into if you need...

got the front downtube tacked in place today and the seatpost tube in place had to jack up the left side of the motor to get it to sit level side to side so i could tack the rear motormount in proper position i made a 1 inch hole in the seatpost tube and used a solid roundbar strait across witch moves the seatpost back a couple inches compared to stock frame they used to have that wierd boomerang shaped thing should make it easier to get the motor in once its been painted dam battery died in phone so i didnt get pics but i will monday . i also did the rear wishbone on the milling machine man i like how much better they fit when you do that . i still need to mess with the bottom rails to get a tighter fit to the front downtube and lower motor mounts then i can cut em to length and finnish the fit to the rear wishboneand the axl plates

SELF INTRODUCTION: I was on the last board as bonustoolkit. I have changed that to my given name.
I started a project build there " File and Fit." I paln to continue that when I go back home in Dec. 2011. I first joined the board when Gary W had it in the year 2005. That was the time I really gained an interest in building chops. I have a long way to go, compared to some here.
