Thanks guys for your comments, at the moment i plan leaving the panels that way, though it might change along the way depending on the wheels and tires and rock rings i decide to put on, i'am shooting for a 12.5" wb, stock tranny, 65 lathe, moped, still undecided on the tires, maybe some narrowed mashers i have from insanerc, still have to build it to get an idea of what it will look like  , i will post pics later today.

Thanks for all the comments  , keep them coming , well i made a little progress, i'am at almost 14" wb , but i think it looks good for the size of tires, i'am testing different droop setups, inner springs on integy reservoir shocks and springless with 100 wt oil on the blue shocks, still haven't mounted the tranny and electronics, have to cut out the aluminum motor mount and the servo mount from Harley's templates .

A little work done, the lathe is there only for mock up, i'am finishing the motor mount and the servo mount, will have updates by tomorrow, since i'am going bl on this puppy i decided i needed some beefy driveshafts, specially for my alomost 14" wb, what better ones then revo's , they fit like a glove , check them out.

I love your choice of power! What batteries are you going to run? Hope the templates work well for you |

| thanks for the input , you guys don't like any of the wheels? i think i'am sticking with the black crome hpi wheels and adding a set of brushed aluminum rock rings, i'll post pics later, btw what is the part # for a 90-93 spur gear from hpi? not sure what sizes they have, and i want to run a 14 tooth pinion to help with those tall tires.

Looks good. I'd just do one thing. If your going to keep that wheelbase. Bend the nose and tail up like Stinger bars. If you can without messing anything up.
