THATS a cool looking bike and will make a badass little hot rod with a modded 150 HP CARPENTER engine and its not a hard tale so its going to be a comfy ride also

I don't think it's a true hard tail......there be a shock absorber under the seat, and I think the swing arm gets damped there. I'd have it!

I need a back rest for that seat so I can ride all day and not fall off on WOT.

Lean forward a bit when you twist the wick....it does wonders for keeping you in the bike!

You can also see the suspension under the seat in the second picture on the Intro page. Definitely not a hard tail.
