Re: Project XR..... w/pics
Okay... got all the parts in. Here's a shot of the rolling chassis. I got the motor in last night and ran it for a couple minutes. Not long enough to find out if I sealed the case well. I still need to put on brakes, chain, shifter, peg, mirror, horn... little ****. But it's mostly together and running! I'll post pics of the completed bike this weekend.

Gee... thanks for the crashing tips. But I think between the two of us... I've got more experience trashing a bike! Oh wait... that's not a good thing huh?
