Thats not a bad idea, we were debating that, I am accuttly on Clist daily now looking for a project for me, my bike is to nice to chop, I wanna build a nice drag bike or stunt bike… either find an old cruiser to hop up with preformance parts, or cage an old rocket, either way looking for something 500-900ccs
