Illinois update

At the end of the day, I'm just going to build the darn thing and RIDE it, and see what happens. If I'm not riding like a total A-Hole, I could see a cop questioning his knowledge of the law enough to leave me alone, IF he even noticed me in the first place.

I believe you man....it's just that you're in the city; I think cops pay less attention to little things there. Out in the 'burbs (and I'm thinking SPECIFICALLY Hoffman Estates) they may get bent about it. I'd like to think that they WOULDN'T, but who knows?

Warner,

What's the latest? Have you had any issues?


Haven't ridden it enough to have issues yet - just around the neighborhood. I have my engine fairly well disguised though. Now I just want to make it quieter! I did see "the man" at a 4 way stop on my bike yesterday, but I was just rolling up to the stop sign at idle, so I'm sure he didn't hear my engine...and I'm REAL sure he didn't SEE my engine. I will keep you posted!

Warner,
Do you have any pics of your bike?

Yes, but not in it's latest form....besides replacing the seat and pedals and adding a bar end mirror, I've added some "pet screen" on the back of it which allows the engine to still cool, but without being visible. I will post some current photos tonight. Here are a couple that show what it looks like basically:

Without the bags or bag brackets:

Looking from the left side with one bag installed:

Looking from the right side with both bags installed:

A look at the brackets that I made to support the bags:

Hope this helps,
