@nof1

Since it's a heavy biased tractor tire I run it at 20psi and it has a bit of bounce. Seats really not that bad due to the seated position. I'm sitting knees just past 90 so my thighs are more on the seat thanot my arse. The back pad that's still not done is what I need most. Under acceleration the majority of my weight is pushed against it. Once the back pad is on I'll be ok.

Well that makes sense, remembering what I read on the seat mod site
I'd run that tire at 20 or so, too

Got to park the bike at the Bobbers N Choppers booth today and had a lot of great feedback. Finally got the graphics on, still waiting on the back pad from the leather guy. Had a few sale offers for some respectable prices. Was nice to know what I could ask for it if I ever wanted to sell it. Most common questions were "how's that seat feel" and " is that shifter hard to work"

Decided to keep the bike and go forward with a few things. I picked up a spare rear wheel off ebay and it's currently at Buchanans having the hub laced to a 19x2.5 spin werks hoop. Once that's done the entire back half of the frame will be removed and cut off for a board track style hard tail install. Going to stretch the rear 3 more inches, do a vertical oil bag cut open to house electronics and lower the bike 2 more inches to compensate for the 19" rear.

Jockey shift is removed. Front end has been cleaned up including all wiring removed from clip ons. Internal throttle is ready to go on leaving that side completely free of any clutter. Relocated starter to push button tucked into frame rail between seat and tank. Double throw toggle now serves as turn signal and actuates dual rear led tail lights and bottom mounted led driving lights with amber leds for turns. High beam is connected to driving lights all actuated thru a switch tucked into the headlight housing.

Got bored today at the shop and made aset of  moon disc covers for the old 15" wheel. Really love the look so I may have to make a set for the 19" rear when it's done and on the bike.

Finished product on the bike.

I took the wheel over to the tire shop across the street once it was installed and all buttoned up and to my surprise on the balancer it only showed being a half ounce out of balance. Made me kinda fuzzy inside to know I was that on with the truing of the disc!

Rylee mysteriously vanished in November 2015.  I tried to reach him by Personal Messages, telephone and email contacts, and I could not reach him.

That's really odd. What's the last post he made? I mean date,
Not literally The last post..
What happened when you called?
When someone just falls off the grid, well, that bothers me.
I hadn't spotted that he was gone,,  I should have...

The last post he made was in response to his listing in the Marketplace.

When I called his phone I got a recording for messaging.....he never returned my calls or the one that Verslagen left.  He never responded to any emails or Personal Messages, he never again logged onto this forum.  I had bought some parts from him, paid using PayPal......they tried to contact him and they never got a response, and I got my money refunded through PayPal.

I believe Rylee was honest and did not do this intentionally - I am concerned that he has something happen to him (remember....we have a somewhat dangerous hobby).
