Got the pipes from a company out in Cali.. Its called Maxi-X-pipe Its the style I was looking for so I figured I would give it a shot.

Here are some pics of the tank. I bought it just like that. I have to relocate the fuel pet c*** to further back.

What did the frame run you from the Tigman? And just out of curiousity do ya have to pull the exhaust every time you do an oil change? Great looking bike. Love the pictures and ideas!!

Is there a pump in there? The bung on the bottom of the tank looks real high.

The Frame ran me 850 and well well worth the $$$. Yup I do need to pull the xhaust everytime. A bit of a pain but it was the look I am after so I need to deal I guess..

Nope no pump.. The bung is going to be removed and I will be running 2 fuel lines that will be located at the back of the tank with shut off valves. Like this pic but 1 on each side of the tank..

The drive sprocket coming off the transmission. How much offset did it require to accomodate the 200mm tire? Is that one of those kits from Chopper Gary (http://www.650motorcycles.com/WideRearTires.html)?

Yup its Garys kit.. Worth every penny! I think the total offset is 3/4". Talk to Gary I went back and forth with e-mails and he gave me his phone umber. I was going to go my own route and build something but with all the info gary gave me It is alot cheaper to buy the kit. He has figured it all out and this kit has given me no worries..

Who did you get the rear axle from and what were the dimensions? I am putting together a bike with Gary's kit and a G&L Choppers hard tail. I was told 12.5". Not sure if that is an overall length or what. I really like the look with pike nuts.
