This is no congressional meeting, no church social, no kindergarten. As for cursing...I was brought up with colorful language and have found myself in situations that employed and even demanded it. I do try to temper it most of the time but I am not one to walk on eggshells either. I also do not find it to be over done here by any means. Tolerance works both ways. It's a motorcycle site which while it does not mean it's church it also does not mean an AAA meeting for ex-Hells Angels either. Just be glad when a fracas doesn't bust out into a full scale war. It has happened before. You won't like it. Members are usually lost and it takes time to heal. As long as everyone knows that if they get accidentally poked in the eye it is an accident or someone just not thinking. If someone comes in looking for trouble (which does happen) they are usually given the razz and sent on their way. Works so far! B)

I love the look of the 4 bangha KZ engine. The yellow accented flames ties the yellow coils into the rest of the bike very well. keep it up!

Nice lookin bike. I like what you've done with the peanut tank to get the lines heading in the right direction. Well done.

Not being a smartass here but I think it needs one of these...

Custom personalized too!

We always wanted a chopper with a nice solo tractor seat. B)

Love the bike but am too old to sit so low. Nice job!

Any more updates to the bike in the last 7 months? I am interested to see what the finished result is. I am not a big chopper fan, but this one looks pretty clean and well done, and that I am a fan of!

Loco,

Nice seat choice. I've driven the old tractors with the solid version of that seat and decided I just didn't have enough padding to make it comfortable. :)

I agree but looking at that li'bitty seat that is on it now makes my buns ache anyway. I got some old tractor seat time in too. They did get a little hard in a few hours but that's what pillows were for. I figure a nice gel bag for when you ride would fit nice on the big tractor seat and the tractor seat looks so cool when finished. B)

Put some casters on that and use it in the shop. It would make it easier to look for parts I've dropped :)
