"Dead by Dawn"...is that a reference to the cult classic Evil Dead 2? Everytime I hear that phrase, I think of that movie...

here in south florida, that shotty shifter would get a deputy to put a cap in you on a late night run in the "wrong area"... food for thought. more than a couple outlaws, and gypsy jokers have been shot for "a suspicious move" while going to shift a seat of the pants rig...not that i dont like your ride, it's "bobber-licious". excellent job!!

Im not leaned over very far and it isnt too bad, the exhaust has no baffle in it it has been stripped out and it actually sounds really really good very loud and deep not like you would think. and the sub frame is realy really cut and we had to weld two pins on the back to hold the seat springs ( aka valve springs held on with washers)
