Just tacked the hardtail on today, removed the supports I had from the engine mounts. Will fit the engine in tomorrow - and hope it still fits, and align the sprockets. Picked up the tank for $40 - fits perfect. More pics to follow.

Wow. looking very good. How much over is that rear section?

3 inches. This is the look I'm going for.

Lookin good.

You are gonna loose the front fender....right?

Nope. Love the front fender. Will just add gator boots and a dual headlight. When the 15" apes are on it the fender looks better.

Cool....I'm just not a big "front fender liker" type. If you like it, that's all that really matters. Still looks good .

Build is coming along very nicely.

I am not a big front fender fan either when it comes to looks, I love the function they serve though. The front fender appears to be longer in the front then it does in the back, I wonder if it would look even better with the fender turned around or shortened in the front?
