I think the faux should be used with cafe racer a lot of the time.
Cool start on a bike..looks like..

I want to do a drag bike for the street someday. I would probably end up using the stock frame and strutting it. Then I would probably actually take it to the track. Then it probably wouldn't be a street bike anymore

I will make sure to take mine to at least one (1) cafe...

Where did you get the frame ?

I strutted my stock frame and ran at the drags a few years, then it went back to street, including a few 500 mile days... It was a faux king rough ride.... But fun on the street.

I got no problems with hardtail/struts on the street. Just run some footpegs that you can stand up on, not forward controls...ride all day.

Subscribed and looking forward to how this comes out.

Mid pegs makes all the difference..

Milunchbox12 · « **Reply #8 on:** January 21, 2015, 07:10:00 AM »

Yeah ill make some mids and most of the other parts I need.

Mcwilliams570 · « **Reply #9 on:** January 22, 2015, 03:32:53 AM »

Looks like a good start.. I have a question for you guys anyone have a picture of mid pegs. I know what forward controls are and where they are usually placed but would like to see where the mid sit at since I am doing a similar project always good to have future ideas.

I'm thinking mid pegs are mounted somewhere in the middle between front and rear engine mount?

Mcwilliams570 · « **Reply #11 on:** January 22, 2015, 04:03:33 AM »

Yeah just want a picture to see the placement of things. How you been doing Gold..

Once I get to that point which will be a couple of weeks I'll send them.

Kustomizer · « **Reply #13 on:** January 22, 2015, 01:55:00 PM »

Looks like a cool build. I have the same plane for a future project. Can't wait to see how yours turns out.

Milunchbox12 · « **Reply #14 on:** January 22, 2015, 05:34:15 PM »

Tire mounted on a 15in rim.

Milunchbox12 · « **Reply #15 on:** January 22, 2015, 05:35:13 PM »

Headlight and tail light

754 · « **Reply #16 on:** January 22, 2015, 08:20:55 PM »

We usually. Run the stock pegs..or stock holders with other pegs..

Milunchbox12 · « **Reply #17 on:** February 12, 2015, 07:41:20 PM »

Got to a roller.

754 · « **Reply #18 on:** February 12, 2015, 09:01:26 PM »

That thing begs to have coupons, or upturned superbike bars.

Milunchbox12 · « **Reply #19 on:** February 13, 2015, 07:09:42 AM »

754 what do up turns look like?

754 · « **Reply #20 on:** February 13, 2015, 07:42:13 AM »

I meant up ended, trying to get a pic.

Trad · « **Reply #21 on:** February 13, 2015, 09:18:39 AM »

This thing is coming together nicely. Cool concept man.

Milunchbox12 · « **Reply #22 on:** February 13, 2015, 09:47:26 AM »

754 who sells those?

Trad · « **Reply #23 on:** February 13, 2015, 10:31:39 AM »

Those just look like Renthal's flipped upside down. Search low rise superbike bars, or Renthal lows. Plenty of options on DCC and other on-line retailers.

Milunchbox12 · « **Reply #24 on:** February 13, 2015, 10:38:21 AM »

I was thinking about using tracker bars

Those are what Renthal's are essentially. The ones 754 pictured are just flipped upside down.
