    I think that polished aluminum or w/e on the forks looks killer, Gives a sporty look.

    thanks for the comments guys. i love to pull these old bikes from the weeds and bring em back to life. i have no before pics but it has certainly come a long way.
    chris, my plan is to have it runable for pennsyltucky. i really need to find a seat though. i have most of what i need to finish other than a few engine internals.
    thanks irvsled, the aluminium piece i made as a number plate. if also mounts the 200x front fender. it will be getting screened in the center and i'll be painting it red along with the fuel tank.
    brapp, i cant wait to bring her down and run it on the track! it would be awesome if you found 1 to do up. these things are cheap and everywhere. so far i have less then $50.00 into it. when done i hope to have no more than $500.00 invested. what im lacking now is a seat, cam chain guides, cam chain, and some gaskets. i'll also be runnin a clamp on filter since it did not have an airbox when i got it.

    That PK Racing pipe will be much better than the DG. DG is better than stock and cobra, but that PK pipe should rock. Did you find a stroker kit for it yet??? You need some suspension! I know fun budget build, but the suspension kits rock. Also, a nice 200x pipe is a real good mod for the 185s/200s series of tries. I do have a soft spot for supertrapp or bassani, but there were other brands that rocked too, just that they are few and far between. Curtiss Sparks, Hooker, White Brother, Kerker and your PK are just a couple of the Bigger names that made really nice pipes and there were several small places that made really trick custom pipes, but you rarely if ever find those and most of those places were out on the left coast.

    veal, i agree... the pk is the way to go. i'll just stash the dg for a future project. i bought both pipes for less than the cost of a new dg!!!! no stroker yet, but im thinking long rod... any ideas?
