So a good friend asks me to sort out the Guzzi chop he's started building - he's bought an off-the-shelf frame and stripped his accident damaged Guzzi... first problem was the drive shaft was hitting the tyre....

SELF INTRODUCTION: Hi,
Been building and riding since the 60s. My last contest build made The Horse BC last year "Home Built Indian" and had a 40 Indian in the TCU section of the Horse BC the year before.

Need to turn the drive shaft around to put the u-joint at the front. It would ride a lot smoother with the double joint at the front like the older bikes used. If it still hits space the hub farther to the right then off set lace the rim to center. You can usually ofset a half inch or so with stock spokes.

SELF INTRODUCTION: So,...I guess I'm a newb. Can I get my "General Smart-Ass" moniker back, or do I actually have to build something. Like a chopper for example. I am hoping to re-start a build that's been sitting in my shop for a couple years with most of the parts already acquired.
Just wanted to thank Dan and anyone else involved in getting this board up and running.
Dan is a personal friend of mine and one of the finest people I know. I have a world of respect for him, not just for his work here but also for reasons beyond this forum.
Not sure if that's 200 words, but that's my intro and I'm sticking to it.
BTW, I'm Mark. Not Indian, just a fanatic of the motorcycle brand.
