I saw it listed on ebay. Good luck on the sale.

Ah. Saw it. I already sold it and the buyer is reselling.

Oh that's not your listing?  If I recall it went for a.nice chunk of change.

Not my listing. I lost money on the deal. Regret selling it. I never rode it, 1 of 10 bikes, so I just wanted to get rid of it. I don't think it sold yet. But from the look of it he's aiming for 5k. It's a sick bike. Rides great. Including the price of donor bike I spent over 4k on the project. Never mind the hours and custom parts I made.

Man that thing is sweet! Definitely nailed it in my opinion! Did you just use stock length cables with those bars?

[ampsrampstramps]

Thanks hurco550. Yeah. I used the stock cables and they worked fine but they certainly could have been a bit shorter. I like big wide bars and felt these were kind of narrow for my liking but the bike handled great so I left 'em. Look for some mx bars. Usually wider and the same shape.

I think the bars I have laying there are very similar to the ones you have on there. I was going with the cafe setup, but after sitting on mine with clip ons, i think i am going to go with the bratish style like yours al little more. Thanks for the info!

Just wondering, what tail light and turn signals did you use? I know its a bit of an old post but I really like the build and want to do something similar on the back end.
