Flip through the pictures and check out the brake stay and forward control linkages. I typically don't like to point out flaws in other people's work but this could get an unsuspecting new rider hurt when it folds up. I'd be curious to know more about how those down tubes were connected to the neck also. Don't get me wrong, I've built and ridden some shady stuff (which I believe is perfectly fine if you understand what you're doing and are willing to accept the consequences) but I've never sold anything I felt wasn't safe. Especially on Ebay where it could go to someone as a first bike.

Why not just mount a chrome master cyl out by the controls and eliminate all that sloppy shit? And the brake stay, can't you see that thing folding up and stabbing you in the ass during a panic stop? What's great about this site is the fact that the guys here will tell you if you're building a death trap and then help offer solutions to fix it!

I wonder if it was welded so it doesn't move... interesting setup, but I'd be worried about it myself... better to be be safe than sorry... just my two cents frozen in ND scoot project visit www.Kool-Kraft.com for tons of cool custom chopper parts!

Notice the shock mount on the bottom? "We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately."

It's using the engine as part of the frame. Kinda like yamaha did with the virago. But all that linkage for the brakes is too much. Just my $.02 ONCE-A-NITE
