As you can see, I have tons of room for the exhaust.

Got everything welded. Only took me about half a day to finish up.

Started to concentrate on the looks of the bike. Swing arm was a tough job to get polished.

Started building my skid plate. One piece of aluminum no welding. Quite the challenge.

Have a couple of things left to do. I still need to build bash guards for the rear brake disc and caliper. I also have a new gas tank coming. Modded the old one, but with the new plastics it still looked like an old gas tank. Had to make her look the best she can before I mess everything up.

This was a fun build. I have ridden this one time since I finished. It turned out better than I had hoped. It cost me some coin to get everything done, but with the sale of the 250 motor and the sale of the 500 roller, I only spent around 800-900 dollars. Very reasonable in my opinion.

Yes I know it is not common anymore with all of the new frames out there, but for my first one I thought I would try the easiest one. I loved doing it so I will be trying a newer one. I already have my next frame and motor in the garage. My winter project should be done around June or July. Thanks for the compliments.
