    only the 5th gear had to be under cut a little. couldn't find any new replacement one anywhere. but the rest of the important gears were able to find new replacement one.

      5th

      Tried Rasputin? he's got at least two tranny's apart and might send you one 5th gear in the mail. He's supplied harnesses, side covers, tanks, etc. look him up tell roster sent you
      Even a blind monkey gets the odd banana.

          hopefully he'll figure out that I can't spell my nick name and you may have noticed too. Have you figured out the vapor deal yet ? I think it's a really cool guage set to have as it can give you temperature readings.

            yea, he did msg me already, thank you!!!
            and we haven't got around to the gauge yet. still working on getting the motor back into the frame, and I end up go with another fabricator to fab my seat.. more update coming soon. so far, it has been a great response and so easy to communicate with, not like 3-4 days later just to get one answer.. can't wait!! will have bunch of info update next week.
            I'm crossing my finger to have it all done within 2-3 weeks.

              The motor is finally back in the frame, hopefully in a few days, it will be ready for test fire. and the new seat will be arriving as well.







              houseonfireindustries.com is building the seat, and I've still got another one coming from India, hopefully one of them will fit nicely in the rear.

                    hey, well, been really depressed this past few days, because the bike it not done yet, and I'm completely miss the Rocker vs Mods event..
                    So far, all the motor is back in, and they are just working on the electrical part, there are few things need to figure out, and once they get it started, then rest will be easy. But just don't know when???? The Shop has been promising me for the last month, and it seems like nothing is getting done!!! So sad!!!
                    and here's some updated pics, and I just put the Prototype Tank and Seat on real quick to get a feel of the over all feel of it.




                    and the new seat has just been ship yesterday too, so I'm hoping it will get here in time to finish the bike next week.



                    btw, thanks for refer me to Rasputin, awesome guy, I was able to get a back up set of the gears!!!

                      and also they were able to figure out all the reading for it, I think I will have Speed, RPM, and temperature reading..

                        Sure will, it does the same as the analog guages with the addition of temperature. that seat section looks absolutely amazing. is that an HID ballast laying on the front tire?

                          thanks, I can't wait for the seat to come in, so I can start working on the seat cover for it. pick up 2 different pleather to see which one works the best, and it's dark coffee look!! and it's made by

                          houseonfireindustries.com
                          twinlinemotorcycles.com

                          and yes, it's an HID ballast, i pick it up on ebay, thought that little charmer works good even in the rain! ha haa.

                              they finally got the front brakes on..

                              and I installed the white grips, I think it look much better, gonna replace the exhaust wrap all white as soon I find a replacement exhaust for it.

                                Thanks!!! The tank is a prototype, and the guy that fab it, is gonna make another one with more fine tune and cleaner finish to it. Can't wait until everything is done.. now just waiting for the hard part, redoing the electrical.. :/
