Interesting choice with the rear sprocket. Other than that, it's fairly standard.

Having some trouble adjusting the carbs though, thinking about going back to the stock airbox.  Any thoughts on what slow jets I should use when running no pods with a 4 into 4 scrambler pipe made out of an old chevy and some dryer vents?

Lol - runs on farts.  I crack up every time i think about that.

Took me a while to figure out where I saw this bike before.
I think it was in the movie Mad Max and was the first one crashed!

Might have been an Omen.  :))

Look like a std rebuild of an old good bike. Typical Café or Bobber, right?  8)
If I find a Sandcast I'll  build something similar ;D
