Just finished building my 1st bike
« on: January 18, 2014, 07:32:18 PM »
I’ve been using the SOHC 4 forum for quite some time now. I lurked for a while gathering ideas and knowledge then decided to join. This site has been an invaluable resource for me. This was my first bike build so it was a bit of a learning process.

Here is some pics.

Congrats on your bike! 

Is that an air pressurized suspension?

I like her!  The rear brake linkage is interesting and I may think about using on my build.  The exhaust hanger looks great.
