I think I'm going to have to put in some sort of restrictor in the lines to make sure it airs up slowly like that. I don't need it to be an ejector seat

Just curious, what are you gonna do about the chain when you raise and drop it? The distance from when it dropped to when it's raise looks like it's moving back quite abit? Fit the chain for when it's fully raised and incorporate a tensioner of some sort otherwise wouldnt' there be alot of slack on it when you drop it? I'm probably not seeing something and just being retarded. Cool ---- though. Pissing me off my bike still isn't in my garage and the dude said he would drop it off and I have no way of getting to my house. Hell if I'm gonna drive it home in the snow.

I have to give it to you...you've got this vision and you're not letting it go. I see so many "I'm gonna's" it make me want to throw somebody off a building along with their mangled steel project. But you have put together a fine working piece of art. My hat is off to you sir.

thanks man I appreciate it.

Not much done lately- But I got my tail light in, and I made the bracket for it. I'm happy with it.

OK, so I don't think I've ever been more wrong about how something would look on my bike.

I received my rear fender today, and all along I figured that there would barely be a fender there, just a smallish nub, enough to mainly keep the dirt off my back, but putting the fender on the bike changes the whole look of it, and honestly, I kinda like it.

Here's a bunch of pictures of the fender in various places with the bike aired up, and down.

Let me know what you think looks best,
Thanks

Yeah that's just the fender blank, the sides will definitely be trimmed down, just trying to see what length looks best.
