If you ran an air intake plastic pipe up high like the exhaust pipe you could tell folks it is a competition swamp trail bike. Some clumps of mud stuck up high in odd places would help that story along, too.

Or, you could rig an oil drip into the exhaust system so you could turn on some diesel smoke at will while you revv up the engine. An Allison or a Cummins sticker on the tank would go along with that trick.

I love them knobbies, how do they do on the sharp street corners when you are all leaned over good? I bet they do a lot better when you are hill climbing.

You will get lots of looks, with folks asking you what it is for
(so you might as well have some fun with it).

The tailight I found on ebay, thought it was awesome and wanted to work it in on this build, It has a old school blue dot and looks like a bomb, so I had to paint a F on it. lol

Good Eyes, yes I have a open carb right now. I haven't decided what to do for a air filter yet. Yesterday was my first ride on it, So I still have some little things to finish up.

I havent takin it hill climbing yet, but I did get in some soft sand when doing my pictures and can throw a pretty good roster tail.

The knobbies do a lot better than I thought they would on the street.

Can you please take some close up pics of where you cut the frame down to mount seat springs. Watch those nobs on wet roads. Would love to hear how it sounds with that exhaust, Did you replace the header too?
