Heh! I know that guy! He is a bit of a mad scientist but puts together some great machines.

Sure appears that way! He replied on the Jockey Journal, where I saw the bike that the swingarm is from an America but shortened. It sure looked like our swingarm. I'd love to crawl all over that thing in person.(and ride it!)

Yeah, Nick is a cool Dude. Still early days with his Manx frame and there are some details I'd change, but kudos to him for having the vision and making the investment.

Anyone notice that's a TBA engine and swingarm (shortened 3-1/2")?

On the engine, uh, yeah, that's why I posted it to this forum.
On the swingarm, see my comment above your post.
The guy is definitely an artist in metal.

That's cool, I've been doing the cafe thing since the chopper waters got so crowded but this guy is extreme.
Thanks for posting.
