Thanks everyone for the comps, I'm starting to get excited now that she's getting closer to paint....
After looking at the bike last weekend I just didnt like the looks of the big rear tire and the stance so I broke out the angle grinder and a cut-off wheel and :hack: the goose neck off, dropped the front and pushed the front wheel out there..... after looking at it and measuring, measuring and more measuring I tacked it together, decided I liked it and finished the :weld:...
Here is what it looked like last weekend before the rake :thumbdown:..
that seat isn't going on it , I'll be getting a new seat made...
What do you think about bright yellow on the frame?????

yes pricey but no one beats the pop and color of HOK plus we had a qt of this for a few years when my son was gonna do his ranger that color..
Thank you for the comp, hopefully once it's all done it will look as good as I hope LOL...
rear frame tubes are 9" inside to inside... My tire is a 13-6.50-6, my rim is now just shy of 5" from bead to bead with the spacer I made to widen the rim...
So, what is the total width in the rear,from the widest point? If you do not mind me asking, I am just trying to get a Idea of what I can do with my Azusa Frame.:thumbsup: Looks realy good, You put alot of work in to it and it shows.

I have the frame in a coat of urethane primer, had to fill a few more low spots from the stretch so I have to hit it again with the primer and then it should be ready for paint...
Hey Mini, have you given any more thought about building a stretched out drag frame?? You wouldn't have to put any scrub brake on it... maybe just mounts for a jackshaft....

nice set up ya got
Your project is coming along pretty good it seems. I like to see more people doing some drag bikes its gives me a kick in the butt to get moving on mine. I just can not deceide weather i want to use the frame i have or build a chrome moly drag frame. I know i want to get 40-60 hp run a 8in slick on back stretched frame or smalller frame with wheelie bar.:weld:

Oh yeah, I wanna build a couple bare frames for sure. I just can't decide between a stretched Taco or something like yours. I actually like your frame better than the Taco. I don't know what it is but it just looks mean. Maybe do one of each
