Vintage6t...I will keep the OIF as the electrical will go under the seat. I was originally going to put an oil tank on to put the electrical inside but have decided to let it all hang out as in the original old school style. As far as the jockey shift clutch goes...that was also an idea that was tossed around like a Pommie on a Rugby field by an Aussie but again went with the simplier foot clutch.
Melvin...If I had a spare Jaffe cake I would give you 2 for knowing your stuff. It is a Yammie 650 rear rim and was chosen for a couple of reasons. 1st was the fact it was a mag and not a spoke. 40 spoke rim on the front (a must on any chop) and a nice looking solid on the rear. 2nd is that it is a drum brake and not a disc which means less crap to hang off the the rear of the bike (BRAKES....we don't need no stinkin brakes). Anyway guys, thanx for the feed back and will post a couple of more pics soon. Darren
