Sweet work on the frame mod.. :thumbwink:
And once you start building the front half, you're unlimited on steering head/fork choice.
This bike retained the stock Spree(?) forks... :wink: ...economical... :wink:
I could see a nice Troxel spring-saddle with a top tank... :naughty:

Yeah, running the hot exhaust right next to the intake is a brilliant idea.......NOT!

So just because an auto manufacturer does it, that makes it smart and right? NOT!

Spreetard and I were just commenting on how stupidly designed the jeep is earlier today.

That engine design is from the 1920's, * they had no clue about Hi-performance.

Looks awesome. Not a huge fan of the green wheels though, I'd use another color if it were me. :smile:

1930's. The AMC inline six started as a Nash flathead in the 1930's. 1956 saw the redesign to OHV. So it's more of a late 50's engine. Not nitpicking, just getting historical.

I ran the exhaust on my spree out the intake side and that thing rocked. My reasoning was to prevent any drastic curves of the polini pipe I was adapting on there. Very cool ride either way. I could run WOT all day.
