ABOUT ME!
Originally from Michigan. Marine Corps for 8 years, gulf war vet. Graduated MMI in '92. Worked at a couple Harley dealers until 2003. I was the head mechanic at Kalamazoo choppers and Cool City Customs, also the official bike builder for Michigan International Speedway. The economy has wiped out Michigan, so as of March I'm now at Iron Thunder here in Raleigh
I understand that been pretty slow around here. Trying to rebuild a shop and fix old problems as well. Thats why my drag bike still sits in a corner broken. I do need a seat for my sporty tho. Know of anyone reliable and reasonable?

Trans is a R&D 5 speed from an old modified drag bike. All I did was freshen it up. The final drive and outer bearing support is from Kosman racing in California. Origanally intended for pro-stock sportsters. It's drive width is fully adjustable
thanks ,i would like to talk to you over the phone sometime
Thanks for the compliment on the new bike. Had a blast building it, even thought about scrapping the whole thing once or twice. If I can be any help on yours let me know, be happy to assist any way I can.
are you useing a stock trans,and did you use the sprocket cover
