Thanks for all the great feedback Guys. This has been a fun project. It got frustrating at times. (how many times do you make a shifter that don't work out of 1/4" steel before you make a paper template.) LOL Not sure we could have done this without this forum, and the great people on it. Thanks again A Curtis

Yeah ditto what Andrew said. we did this as 3 buddies together cause none of us had the $ to do it by ourselves and it's the only way we could afford to do it any time soon... we've done our own maintenance forever, but never anything like this. Andrew and I learned how to weld (and grind) on this thing, and to make what parts we needed. TJ probably learned the most, plus the whole thing was his idea. In hindsight, there's a couple things we woulda done different, both of which I take responsibility for... O well, just experience to make the next one that much better, and in the meantime, we got a bitchin chopper/bobber to ride.

Thanks again for all the advice and help we got here. Hoping we can get down to the WHCM in June to meet ya'll in person to check out ya'lls awsome rides and share a couple beers. Although it'll take a gazzillion gas stops with that puny-ass tank on there...lol (yeah thats one of the things we woulda done different, but I fell in love with the looks of this one and no one stopped me...lol).
