What a ride!  Hambone got the ground effects done over the week and Saturday we did the rake kit with tapered steering bearings.  He reports that the 5.5 degree rake really makes a difference in the steering.  Like power steering.  Now its time to RIDE, RIDE, RIDE!

Wow! How do you get to the side stand though? Probably electric over air? Sure looks comfy! -Jeff

WOW!  What a ride.  It is unbelievable.  Actually, I was a little disappointed in the steering until we got the front raked.  That totally changed the feel and ride and made it so much more enjoyable.  We (mainly Patron) really did a great job on the build.  It was a fun project even though it was a lot of work.  Great way to spend a weekend.

Nice, I think my wife is jealous.



And I am too, because of the weather you have over there.

The only thing missing is the chauffeur to pilot it while you sit back and watch the scenery!  Grin

Seriously, nice conversion.  Hope you enjoy it.
