This is what the bike looked like when i got it from my work for a super deal at $450 bucks for the complete bike w/a title. Then i started stripping it down and prepping for the Voodoo Vintage Hardtail install.

From what I can see - it doesn't have much visual appeal. :-?

I think it's got the Romulan cloking device engaged.

I recommend saving them (as a reasonable size) on your computer and attaching to your post them using the "Choose File" button below. This will save the pictures on this site and will stay with your post forever. the only real drawback is that you can only attach one picture per post.

You can edit your posts to add a picture and then have an Admin clean up the extra posts.

This is after i had it all stripped down and started getting ready to chop it in half and start prepping for the VV Hardtail install. I also had already put on my Biltwell Z Bars.

The next 2 pics are before i did any welding i was kinda just mocking everything up. Got my super narrow sporty frisco tank mocked up, which i was very happy with and thought it was the perfect tank for the look i was going for! Got it from LowBrows

I polished it up little, and bolted it on

Started painting the cylinder/head, polishing the side covers while rebuilding the motor in the meantime. The motor ended up needing a new cam/rocker arm. Everything else checked out, i had also previously installed a new clutch before hand.

Finally got the motor back together, new cam, rocker arms, everything re-gasketed. Got the motor in the frame with the carb mocked up. Then got the elec. box somewhere in the area where i wanted.

Started to get the rear wheel/sprocket aligned. Also mocked up a seat and bracket and started thinking about how to position the battery box.

Decided to go with a 16" 1983 Gs550 rear mag wheel because of the low clearance with the stock 15" wheel. The brake drum and sprocket carrier attach right on. Also got my vintage style double thin whitewall tire. Still having some issues getting the wheel/drive centered.

Here's another of the wheel/tire.
