    I have actually seen that shifter on another bike. So I’m guessing it was copied off of something else? I can’t remember what bike, but it was a bike in the horse. I’m sure.

    Yeah man! Dude busts out a softail frame on a 650 and doesn’t give details? What gives? And while you’re at it how about some details on lacing an original XS-1 Drum to a 21″ rim? What’s the rim? Custom cut spokes? Dish sister!
