I understand that the oiltank is also known as a swingarm on most bikes, Is this true Tracy? I surely hope not as that would be a little danderous for countless reasons, even on a “concept bike.” Also the body looks to have an uncanny resemblence to the other Rucker bike that was going to set the Bike-world ablaze, It was known as the “Sniper” at AMERICAN IRONHORSE in 2002. I worked for AIH around that time & they must have built at least two or three of these bikes reluctantly before cutting thier losses and selling the body molds and other pieces to someone. I now see who bought those pieces. All in all, I like the shape of the bike as it appears in these pics, but how is it going to look after 3 more inches of ride height are added? I think it may look like a 2006 CRF 450 that Honda made. Tracy, please tell me that you didn’t put oil in the swingarm!!!!!!!!!!

Tracy put in Alot of hours into this bike,a very talented man with a big future ahead of him……Hand made all of the Aluminum side cowls from scratch.
Many Saturday and Sundays into this thing,and met the deadline!!We have hands down the best group of guys to do the job in all respects to bike building,Fab..Body…paint and assembly,I am proud to land a job where creativity and talent flow freely.

I look forward to the production bike to come out of the shop in the coming months,as well as everything else we do there.

Wow, I just noticed the cover for the carb (I think it’s the carb). Very, very cool! Any idea where the exhaust will be?

It is a very nice motorcycle.

Any pictures of the exhausts?

OK, … for those not paying attention when I mentioned this in another couple of comment sections, keep the conversation civil. In other words be polite. If you don’t like something, fine, explain exactly what it is that is a problem, but be polite. If you’re not sure, re-read the reminder above the comment box, no profanity, no personal attacks, … be polite. I deleted one off topic comment here because it was just a personal shot directed at another commenter.

It’s nice to have the builders and various companies commenting on their projects and in return, giving all of you the opportunity to interact with them giving direct feedback. You can disagree or have opposing opinions and still be polite.

Nuff said …
