@ivin74 they are OEM 5 spoke declads. Found a set for a great price.

@SirReal63 @Rocket Man GS850 it is. Picked it up with a full spare motor for $500. Been building it from random shit in the garage to get it running for summer in Tennessee. And now... its kinda something else lol.

Cool. I built a few bikes a few years ago but they were Harleys. A couple V-Rods and a 2016 Street Glide.

lol, I call it the Whitaker setup. Whole idea is kind of a bobber styled Cafe racer that's been left to rot. Lol. Kind of a rat bike, but not really belonging to any of the genres.

that drawing is amazing. Gotta share this with my son. ... nice
thank you!

this is definitely a lot easier than working on the tahoe lol.

X2! All your artwork is awesome!
appreciate it!

That drawing is pretty awesome.
its getting there.

The drawing is making progress and I'm so stoked to give it to the recipient. Still a ways to go on it, but wrapped "Fred" up tonight...

Appreciate it. But, remaining humble, you should be decent at anything you've been doing for over 30 years, right? Lol

But, I took some photos in daylight. Kinda dig it, but I think some deep dish 22s would look right as rain on this thing.

I like this setup better, but agree 22’s would split it in the middle. What tire size on the 20’s? 285/50?

Agreed. Like old wheels better, but digging the stance. Slight rake? What are your front and back ground to fender lip numbers by chance?
there is a slight rake, but i don't know the exact numbers. But guessing off the settled.ride height, 31" up front and 32-33" in the back maybe.

First build thread I read through here, and turns out your local. Nice ride, I'm right across I-5 from ya.

And honestly, I like the proportions of the 24s better. These seem too small to me. But, my future plans (distant tbh) with 22s and a similar diameter tire to what im running now will sit very right and work perfectly.

Going to get some good looks and hi beams hauling that toy behind that dropped green goblin. Should be a fun x country trip. Used to go to the Puyallup state fair as a kid from Woodinville, Winthrop and Lake Chelan. Enjoy the road!!

You rolling helper bags already or putting some in. Couldn't recall?

tahoe's is going to be loaded up on a hauler behind a 26' uhaul unfortunately. Due to the delay in paperwork for me to be allowed to move, we have to pack and move everything on our own and be out of our current house by the 1st. Long story.

But while we are currently packing, we started questioning available space, and this freed up a lot of it since I can put the bike back there.

For the begs, I have them in the springs already, just need to run the lines and tap a filler tip thing where I can check psi and whatnot. No clue what its called, but I'll figure it out eventually lol.
