    Looks good I love the leather stitching on the seat lol but you definitely did a great job on the engine and exhaust they compliment the old school look well. I personally will be making a few tech changes like capacitors instead of a heavy battery and Im doing a 750, Im hoping to at least hit 150 mph with it if not Ill add a turbo set up, who knows I may add the turbo anyway and try to get 200 mph out or it definitely going with some fat tires like some thick Harley Davidson 18s or something along those lines. I want something built strong enough to handle a bump at 150 mph if I don't see it in time to slow down, I already know without stripping it down 130 mph and 0 to 60 in 4 to 6 seconds isn't an issue. The thing I like most about these builds is its not much of a suspension change and tire change to build a 650 or 750 off road machine. I also have back issues already, so I won't care as much on the appearance I can't put the handle bars that low.

    Lincoln electric easy mig 180 was the first welder I bought. It's under $1000 and is probably the best "budget" welder that is great for beginners. Even the less expensive welders aren't very cheap if you are looking for something that will be reliable and weld nice.
