Otherwise it all looks good. I am worried about the overall look with such a stretch. But I'm interested to see what u come up with.

The stretch looks really severe with it stripped down. By the time I put the seat, fender, and tank back on, it gives me just enough room to be comfortable. Also, once I get the hardtail on, I will run the forks back down in the triples. Right now it looks like the front end is mashed in.

That looks cool. Thanks for the link

Question; wouldn't it make your life a lot easier if you took the engine out of the frame? Plus it would give you an opportunity to clean it up and possibly brighten it with polish or paint. Just asking.

Oh okay... I hope you don't think I was being offensive. I actually thought you had some really good reason for leaving it in so I hesitated to ask and look stupid...

No offense taken. I just haven't done it. So when you asked that, I had nothing to say other than just agree. I'm gonna get it put together and rideable for now. Winter will bring the complete tear down, paint, etc. It will be rat-tastic til then.
