that's not silly, it's awesome. haha

you know you're going to have to do some serious rake changing to make that work right?

Front end is awesome!  Make sure you understand how rake and trail work though.  Don't do this:

Yah that bike has some weirdness done to the triple trees on the girder. We won't be doing anything like that, the guy that is building the frame knows what he is doing and I will be a part of it the whole way. I also have a drouin supercharger that I'm putting on that motor (which will also have a big bore kit). To ensure that that I die immediately.

Well one of the rods on my motor is officially toast. I split the cases on my extra motor today to pull the crank and rods out of that one and hopefully they are good and I can use them on the other bike. Still waiting on the machinist to tell me if my jugs/pistons are okay to use.

Splitting the cases turned out to not be anywhere near as big a hassle as I imagined. It took me probably 2 hours on a motor that had been sitting outside for probably 10 years. So my running motor should come apart much easier then that one. Holy cow though, I had no idea those crankshafts weighed that much!

It's cheaper to learn from someone else's experience but first you have to learn to tell the difference between a fact and a Furphy.
