$.02:  Think you need a better camera.   :oops: 

Looks great but want to hear about the handling.  Extending the wheel base may make the ride smoother but I doubt it will improve cornering...  Just sayin'.   :nixweiss:   :nixweiss:


This thread is worthless without BETTER pics!   :huepfenlol2:   :huepfenlol2:

just got it back so I haven't had a chance to ride it, hopefully tonight I'll get to make a short trip.  No on the trees, this set-up moves the triples forward and add's rake, stock neck is cut off and this is slid over the original frame and welded.   The chassis builder that did this has a patent on this and sells the kit and or installs them.  Happy so far, I've had a couple of friends that have did this and they think the bike handles better.  We'll see.

I would expect nothing less from a guy who's handle is "hacksaw!" ;) :drink: :huepfenlol2:

Looks good!! :2vrolijk_21:

stuck at work and didn't get to take for a ride.  Will get better pic's tomorrow.  Tossing around getting a quick detach tourpak but I ride 2up 90% of the time so might be a waste.  Yes it's a 21" front, kind of the reason I put the rake into, get it back on the ground.  The dart's the father-in-laws, '70 that he put a good hittin' 383 in it.  Will post more pic's and ride info as soooooon as possible.  Thanks for the compliments.

 Love the look, but really more interested in handling / cornering. With the rake and extended wheel base draging hard parts may be in your future. :nixweiss: Beautiful Bike  :2vrolijk_21:

Don't know about the dessert, but when we're up in the mountains and scraping floor boards, pipes, ect. we call it dragging hard parts. :nixweiss:

luckily I'm an old drag racer so I prefer the straight lines, enjoy the curves but try not to drag any parts!!!
