Default New Softy from the ground up

This one is going to be a Softail on steroids. 150HP Ultima, 6 speed, 3" Primo IV, chain final drive, 38 degree neck, 6 degree trees for total rake of 44. All pushed by a260 Metzeler. Going to be lots of custom one off parts, split gas tank, front mounted oil tank, two into one exhaust, anda Pingel electric shifter for those full throttle clutch-less shifts.

This is my second, my first was a hardtail chopper, 14" over, raked out 45 degrees, 200 tire, 100 hp. It was a lot of fun, but not too great on the spine.

That should get you from point A to point B. It would be nice to see it take shape on the forum.

I love that pro-street rake. Just judging from the frame it's going to look awesome.

Might even eat a little rice with 150 lbs of torque at the rear wheel. Going to have drag bars, mid controls,and a Pingel electric shifterfor full throttle clutchless shifts. Just push the button.

Gonna be a fun toy to teach ricers to beware of the barking dog, it can bite too.
I like the wheels, who's are they.
