I havent put any money into it. Just used stuff laying around the shop.  Unless you really want to nit-pick then I spent like $5 on steel that I welded to re-make the back, $2 for fuel hose and $2 for a switch n wire. Ohh, also $1 premium gas.  O0
I appreciate the complements guys. Makes me feel like I have something better than the "nancy boy bike" that my friends all called it when I first got it and it was purple.   :flipoff:

Also Id like to comment on the seat. Its actually just big enough to fit a girl with a small butt on the back.   :cheers:

So what do you want for it?  $250, $300???  I know you would be happy to flip it and make a quick buck (from your comments).  If you say what you want for it you will probably get an offer from a tinkerer.

I really dig what you did in the back.

I agree with that comment. Honestly, I think I might de-pledge from my fraternity and use that money to buy the bike. I would absolutely LOVE to have that thing here on campus to tinker with. It'd be my first bike, but I've done a lot of engine work with my mustang and my friend's '79 vette that we rebuilt. I could take the next MSF and be riding in no time.. wow.. I get goosebumps just thinking about it... I wouldn't be a nood anmore!   :laugh:

My only problem is there's no way for me to get it to Atlanta, aside from a uhaul.. and uhauls are EXPENSIVE....  damn... always gotta be SOME detail in my way...

Hang out there, we may flame, but we don't hate.

My attitude is in serious need of readjustment, and I'm ok with that.

Bike looks great! You did a very good job with it.  Straight up streetfighter.  I like the chopped rear end; very streetfighter.  One question: where does the licence plate go? (I'm already thinking of a swingarm sidemount)
The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

Ya, or deep under the seat behind the tire   :dunno_white:

instead of the uhaul, try enterprise. I got a dodge ram quad cab ffrom sat 9am til monday 10am for $98. They only charge mileage if you're going out of state, but all bordering states are considered local. I actually went 2 states up and put prolly 800 miles on it and they said nothing, but georgia and florida touch, so no worried there. It shoulda be 20 bux more since i'm under 25, but the guy there was cool and didn't charge me. Just another option for us w/out truck access.

I got the bike from a good friend and it diddent run, thats how I got it for cheap. I would prolly sell it for $1,000.
