Nice bike btw
db4elle September 13, 2007 at 3:03 am: Yeah, the back half is chopped in preparation for a hardtail section that I’m going to weld on in the (hopefully) near future! Thanks for the comment!

violence30 September 22, 2008 at 2:42 am: what did you rebuild on the motor? any modifications? or just a little “freshening up” type of rebuild. bike sounds good, bet it’d sound even better with straight pipes!!!
db4elle September 24, 2008 at 5:38 pm: yeah, the motor was seized when I got it, so I unseized it, and put in a used original piston. Right now it is hardtailed, and eventually will have straight pipes. Check the description for a link to a few pics.
