Also made a couple of gussets to beef up the front end, as was suggested. Defanetly a good thing. Good thing I'm better at grinding than I am at welding. Should be an easy one to do.

Thanks for the comments. Its inspiring among such a crowd. Turns out fatties can be fun. Rode it around the backyard a bit. I can feel the mass on the front tire, kinda helps in corners. It's a weird gyro effect. Super stable. I messed with the gearing a bit, and fixed some issues with the...

I think I like it. Got the motor and jackshaft in place. Just need throttle and finish up some welds, and I can try it out. Brakes will come later.
