(Bigger-Busa @ May 29 2007,18:25) another great day. took the first test ride!

Is it just the angle in this pic, or is the 330 offset to the right in the frame?  I was under the impression that all fat tires that use a jack shaft were centered. Or maybe it's just the tail section in the pic. Wheel looks lined up with the air cylnder and gas tank..tail section looks offset?

How does the air ride handle?

God, I hate you.

WOW looks good brutha,


Yea it does look offset, not all jackshaft swingarms are centered.

 

[Bigger-Busa]

Yaaaaaaa Whoooooooo!

 

[Bigger-Busa]

air ride all the way up

 

[Bigger-Busa]

Is the back tire centered with the bike?

Looks good,will look better with the bike lowered IMHO.

 

[Bigger-Busa]

I measured the distance from the swing arm to the wheel on both sides and on the left theres 1 1/2" of space, on the right there 1". Not sure why? The tire looks as if it goes over any more to the left the sprocket will hit. I will call the manufacturer tomorrow and see what they say.

i installed lowering links and the mid setting is perfect! with the air ride at its lowest the tire comes about 1/2" from the shaved under tail section! looks like the huge tire is just STUFFED under there!!
I built my own side license plate marker and put tube type lighting on it. looks ok. couldn't put it on the tail as theres no room. Pushed the rear foot pegs/muffler brackets out an inch.The bike is getting stock mufflers installed 2" outwards in the morning then its ready to ride.
the roaring toyz 4-2-1 exhaust wont be ready for 4 to 6 weeks and here in CT summer will be almost gone by then
pictures tomorrow.

Very nice!! You don't fool around do you! Looks great!! Keep the pics coming! Hope manufacturer has an answer for you on the centering issue !

 

[Tchill2much]

Yea looks good man. kinda curious about that offset though I always wanted to build a straght cruiser with a fat tire.

 

[2Biker]

glad you made it the bike can be replaced

 

[Bigger-Busa]

also i noticed that the center "seam", thats the thin line around the center of the tire from the original rubber mold in the fat tire, is not centered. its off by about 5/8" . this may cause a slight optical illusion a bit but the tire is still off a 1/2"

 

[Bigger-Busa]

Jamie and all guys at Miller Race cars did a great job on kicking the mufflers out about 2 1/2" on each side!! sweet welds and nice stainless steel work.
i will polish the welds out later. the stainless should look sweet when im done with it.
