Thanks guys the comments mean alot. I've been trying hard to do something my brother would like. This was his bike until the 15th of July when he was killed while serving in Iraq. I found a wish list for the bike on his computer and decided to order everything on it. What you see above is what I have thus far. In the near future I plan on powder coating everything a flat black. The frame the Bumper, Nerfs, Grab Bar....everything. I talked to HMF about designing a custom set of graphics for me, depicting all the soldiers fighting, along with an eagle the flag, etc. They said that they could do that, so we'll see how it turns out. I will probably keep a set of plastics for riding and then a separate set for shows and such with the soldier theme. Hopefully I can get all this done before winter hits hard, but I'll update as I go, thanks alot for the replys and see you soon!!!

It rides however you want it to ride honestly. The Elkas are infinitely adjustable as are the A-arms. The engine is pulling probably around 40HP, stock is about 28HP, I still need to get it to a dyno and dial it in. I hope to see about 55HP by the time that I am done with everything. Right now its at 12.5:1 comp. I need to find a 40mm FCR, the stock 36mm Mikuni just can't get it done anymore. And if I get really antzy, I might run a boondockers nitrous setup for dragging. There is still alot to go, but I have a decent start.
