Just in case anyone would like to see what I am up to...

I may not go with this motor.  I picked up a used stroker crank, used stroker golden rods, used 73mm MTC Pistons and some other goodies for this motor off of the bay, BUT, most the parts ended up being junk...  I might run a rayjay turbo, or a drouin supercharger instead, but the stroker, is really what i had pegged for this build, just not real sure right now...

This build is screaming for a girder front end! The telescopic forks look out of place.

Ok, I'm a sucker for dual discs! Keep going!

Do you have a master to go along with that setup? I don't think you can use a master for single disc when you're running duals.

I did works great, more lever travel but it will make the front tire squeal if you want to. I think I ruined a front tire practicing quick stops. It has scallops now.

I like the rear part by the axle on the Ness and SBF frames.. Some frames just look. Unappealling or lacking at the back......mostly its just the breaking of the straight line visual thing when it joins the axle plate. Jammer is the worst in that respect.
 The overall lines of the Ness and SBF frames really work for me..

This thing is so ugly but at the same time I'm very attracted to it. This looks like the kind of bike you would walk across the room past all the other bikes at a show cause you gotta see wtf this thing is.  I really want it.
