And I should point out that the Vapor will fit right inbetween the handle bars so easy it will look like a fighter plane.




Really coming along nicely. For the shifter try using 3/8th or half inch tubing. Tubing will flex less and solid bar stock. Or get some cable shift like found on a motor boats for steering. Some cars and truck use push pull cable shifters. That or some aluminum or heavy flat bar stock. But remember the longer the shift the harder it is to keep it from flexing. Even railroad rails flex. So cable shifting is the best for long distances.
My TD I Mark has them on it.

My first thought was wouldn't it be cool to move your front windshield loop forward then lean it back to where it is now. The make the door fit the longer opening and add a air lift under the seat to aid in entry and exit, like an elevator lift. Would make it easier to get your legs out of the cockpit.

I really like the rearend around the engine.
