JD progress and Fab

Disc on the Right

Sprotor on the left

Motor trans and Primary aligned

Rear wheel centered and length of final drive chain next

Once rear wheel was set for calipers to clear we lost fender clearance on tubing across frame
Solution CHOP it out and plate,this made for all sorts of ways to mount oil bag and fender tabs
Notice remote master cylinder mounted to tranny and plate  Dual port for the TWICE brakes!

JD Progress (time to make some decisions)

Love the Stance it has

The headlight is good !

Rear Fender  Good radius

Like Skinny  Seat pan inside tubing ???

Forward Controls ??



Hell no  Mid controls  That's IT !!
