That is the plan david! Budget friendly high quality parts! Im excited with how they are turning out!

Tews, I will have to dig around and see if I can find. it is being used as a mock up bike right now so that I can make parts for these bikes. I will make sure I get a video next time its running though...

No hard date right now David. I am hoping to have it by years end, but I do not want to release a product that has not been tested and verified to be the best that it could possibly be or do what it was designed to do... for more consistant updates, keep an eye on our website, or our facebook page https://www.facebook.com/JWebsterDesigns

We are also interested to see what everyone else would be interested in seeing developed. We may be putting out a feeler thread for what people want to see us produce next.

Just liked the FB page. Do you do sheet metal fab? I want a tank to match my seat lines the best tank I can find is the 400F tank but if a mod can be done to my cb550k tank that would be cool too. It could just be a cosmetic mod.

I pretty much broke mine.  Sigh.  Took the carbs off to replace the needle jets a d give the
Carbs a bath.  After reassembly I got it fired up a couple of times but 3 and 4 didn't fire, cut the 4 plug wire back 1/4 inch and VOILA...click click click...wtf!....click click click.

Sigh again

Threw the charger on and now I'm in bed.

Busted out one of my favorite everyday riders,Freedom Green 74 from its long winter slumber.Got her started up and warmed well and gave it a fresh oil change.Went for a nice ride with a buddy who got a Harley this winter.I like riding it also. A fellow dropped off this old 60's Honda 50 sport for us to go through. We have it running and have tooled around the parking lot.Got the muffler heat shields and other stuff off now for a good cleaning and some new tires than give it back.Starting to clean up well. Fun to actually make a few $$'s for a change  :)

We are now populated with a very large quanity of wild Turkeys around here . Big birds,not wanting to tag one of those.
  I was sitting at my large picture window out here in the country one morning recently and a local who has a large fast scooter type bike went whizzing by and following right behind him at less than 15 or 20 feet,like playing follow the leader was a large turkey,like he was folowing the mothership. WTH   :o

not cool!  local guy with a big plot of land was raising peacocks.  he let those huge fkrs roam free, and i nearly took out a group of four on my 350F.  darted outta the bushes and across the street.  never realized how tall they were till i went right between them...and right home to lie down a bit. ;D

Stayed up last night till after midnight working of the front headight not working on my 74 750... The bike dreams kept waking me up telling me this solution and that solution so I was in the garage at 5am playing with it.. Got it all to work.. Thanks to the help of the site and it's members.....

Then I pulled out Goldie and BOOM>>>>>> Dropped her on the right side on my inclined driveway... Left pant leg ripped almost completely off from the knee down. No side cover damaged but the fork ears are tweaked pretty bad... SIGH>>> When one things goes right another thing may faulter.....

Now on to straightening the fork ears as best I can for bike night tonight,...

When I move bikes around I always leave the side stand down.  Figure that way it can only fall one way, and it will suffer less damage falling on me. ;) ;D

I originally thought I was slick leaving the sidestand down but the one time I caught it falling down was when I was moving it and bumped the sidestand and it upset me. Bike leaned over to the right

I was lucky and dropped down in to a squat and yanked it back upright but I don't want it to happen again

I mostly rode my bike, put some seafoam in the tank now that I'm up around 800 miles now since I started riding it. Found some cool town made trails near the reservoir in Tarrytown, I don't think the city will like me tearing them up on a 750 tho haha

Understandable. I'm getting used to it so I will just wait for one to come along. I lost a tank on ebay last night because the auction ended while I was giving my son a bath. It sold for 20 something bucks. I thought I had days left.

Thank you on the bike. Its in pieces right now. Going through it. Frame is in the process of being stripped so I can paint. Does it look funny with the 4 into 4s?

I don't think it looks "funny..." exhaust is a personal preference... Myself, I like the look of a nice set of aftermarket pipes that are well thought out, perform well, and are aesthetically pleasing.

I like the 4 into 4s.  They stand out nowadays and add good curves.

I installed a new bike master trugel battery and took her for a spin.  I was debating whether or not to ride since I finally got my headlight working and was scared it would go out but I was pissed after my septic d-box started #$%*ing up after I blew 500 dollars on it >:(  The ride helped a lot though, that and the 6-pack.
