Most parts are scaveged from other bikes, junkyards, and the toolshed, you don't have to spend a fortune to make a custom bike.  Be creative! Have fun with it!

currently 318lbs dry, will smoke an 883 or 1200 sportster, 650 v-star, 1340 custom harley, 800 intruder, 0 to 60+, tops out at 95+mph, will loose out to the big boys top end.(note# speedo is dead on with larger dunlop rear tire)

That's all I can think of.... in no particular order.  Many mods have come from this site and I thank you all, I hope there are a few new ones here too.

Outstanding!!  

grampa - Not ex-g.i., but I was a military brat for 16 yrs, mostly just born on a budget.  

Lancer - your bike is one of my inspirations! Sluggo's and others too.

Rockin_John - Fork boot omission corrected (msr daystar "series 58"), thanks for noticing.  Don't know about 1400 shocks, got the 800's from a friend, they bolt up perfect..  Remember if you do the mod you must check for clearance, or remove the beltguard.  I also modded the petcock's reserve tube to account for the  change and added the hockey puck to the kickstand to adjust for added tilt,  good for soft ground too!(recommended!) Dyna- bars do clear if you don't tilt them down too much.

Wow, Looks like you did your homework A+ man!  8)

Definitely a nice job.

Good work.

Thanks for all the comments, I've added a left side view to the pics.  

vroom1776, I like bar end mirrors but I live in a very urban traffic area and need the rear visibility so I just ordered a pair of mini cruiser mirrors much like what's on it but a little bit smaller.  If I were more rural I'd probably go with just one left-side bar end.

I'm currently reworking the tailight mount to make it tuck up to the fender better.  ...slight clearance problem.  You can tell in the third pic.

Rockin_John,
I looked at the shocks on a 1400 suzuki and they look the same as the 800.  Not 100% sure but my guess is, yes they would fit the same.  The only thing I had to do is use a smaller diameter washer on the top shock mount because the nut is inset.
Best luck,
Serowbot

nice
