is just about the end of it's travel, sorry guy just not my cup of tea.
Hey Mick!
Yeah... the center stand is GREAT! I didn't know if I'd like it much, but it's turned out to be a valued addition. I fabricated the center stand because I wanted to keep the frame clean as possible.
Sorry you don't like the style! I suppose if everyone liked this style... everyone would be riding a rigid! It's an "old-school thing" ya know...
Personally, I don't care for those "West Coast Chopper Ground Pounders", but you still have to respect the guys who hammer these things out! Takes a lot of work, talent, patience, and money regardless of your favorite style. Now... if I could just acquire the "money" part of the equation!
