I rode it 1 Year, 6 Months ago  
The old bike is back on the road almost. I have just about wrapped things up. I cranked it for the first time in months and took it for a ride. All I can say is MAN does that puppy run the bike is a lot lighter and with the 45 HSR it really slides you back in the seat. You have to hang on tight when you crack the throttle. It looks and rides great and every body couldn't believe it was the same wrecked bike. Got a little clean up and small details to work on but for the most part it is finished. Now all I have to do get a new title and get it registered. Here is the link to some new picture they are the first two sets on the page.

He's got the air dumped, and with the swing arm mounted fender, it swings everything to the sky.

They only coon hunt when the shock is lowered better for the tail gaters to see I'm turning. The hose reel is to keep my ass from sliding off the back Jona this thing has some awesome get up and went.
