The original Smiley lasted just over a year, and only failed because I failed to keep it clean. The following two chinese welders are from a no name company, and both broke on the second day. Worst choices I ever made.

The time I lost building this thing instead of just buying one put me back quite a ways.

Going to rebuild the stock engine. It's no powerhouse, but it's got the old school look (got to love the Japanese ripping off the Triumphs) and this is the very first project I've ever done that is for looks and style and not speed.
This bike will definitely be a cruiser- About the only thing I'm going to do power-wise is go up a few teeth on the year sprocket to get that big rear wheel moving.

Thanks for all the comments so far guys.

Slight stretch, low rake, drag bars. Kind of a mix between streetfighter and chopper/bobber (I like fenderless bikes =).

I thought about trying it for a day or two, but it would just ruin the asthetics of what i'm going for.

Oh well, I've still got my daily driver WRX to work with boost
