that's pretty cool looking.

I just painted the recoil, so its not blue any more, the rest of the bike was powdercoated flat black. I spent quite a while building it, Too much money also, but it's a head turner and hauls a$$.

It's actually a Warrior, but thanks:drinkup:

I'm considering a comet TAV, over the jackshaft. Any opinions, looking for more tourque off the line, maybe a different gear ratio?
I'm 6'8" and 3 bills plus so...

My only complaint was the blue recoil but I guess you've taken care of that. Nice job!:thumbsup:

Motar tubes in the background?

I have one on my Warrior and it hauls ass off the line and screams at top end.

TAV are totally the way to go. Better low end, and you hit that .90 "overdrive" on the top end. They are more pricey than a regular clutch, but its worth it IMHO.

Good for a couple mph on the top end.

Yes the recoil is now black like the rest of the bike, and those are mortar racks in the background, another hobby.

cj, what are the in/p ratings on those seat springs and where did you get them?

 

[agent001]

That is sweet :thumbsup:

I went with this setup, you got 50 lbs. on me but I'm sure the TAV is up to the task!

I ordered them from a company called chopper shox,they are not springs but actual fully adjustable shocks.The ones i have are rated at 275 pounds but if you mount them at an angle like the instructions recommend they become somewhat of a progressive rate. I had to do some fabrication to the frame for the lower shock mounts. They work great.

 

[rudedog]

Yeah I've got some that I got off fleabay on my Hardknock, but the springs read 1000 p/in, they don't "give" at all, and I'm ~350#

I called Chopper Shox and asked the guy if I could get some replacement springs, but he said no, full units only. If you know of anywhere I could get just the springs, I'd appreciate it.

 

[DEUCE]

I would recommend the TAV also... They are GREAT. Plus they look pretty cool, would help with the look you already have going. They are expensive, but it's only money right.?
