Desertrat, I tried replying to your message, but since I haven't posted 10 times I'm not yet allowed to pm.
First thing: some low life crap bag STOLE my bike last night from the Daleville Inn of Daleville, Al. So if anyone in the group starts to see pictures of it surface please contact the Daleville police department. Titles aren't required in Alabama or Georgia so I'm betting it will be sold with a bill of sale to some happy unsuspecting individual.
EDIT: bike was found Saturday morning left in a ditch. I drove 14 hours back to Alabama and have it safe in my garage. Unfortunately enough of the bike is damaged and I don't trust putting it back on the road until every part is inspected. So that's all she wrote for this bike until a very rainy day comes.
And onto your questions.
-bike isn't loud I had something welded in the pipe for back pressure and it left a lot to be desired as far as exhaust sound goes.
- no known flex in the rear, everything is braced pretty well and the tubing is a sufficient thickness.
-no issues mounting the mono seat, I did move the lower mount huger on the frame, the real issue is finding a spring/foam combination to keep the ride pleasant.
- from the donor I used: tires/wheels, brakes, forks, trees, and misc electrical bits for the engine. I deleted all unnecessary electrical parts.
- all the other parts were taken from other make and model motorcycles and various motorcycle part stores
- money is hard to estimate because I've been through a lot of trial and error. If you know what your doing you could probably build the same thing for 3-5k depending donor bike cost, on your skills, tools available, and if you want quality paint job or powder coat.
