i always wanted a bike like this.....or the hardy daytona, but the akira bike seemed more fitting for a leccy version.

so im going to make my own "budget" version.

a few cuts n welds and i should have a rolling frame. the seat is going to go above where the rear suspension spring is.
I dont know if im going to bother with some or any cowling. i might in the future if the thing handles/rides ok.

advice/critisism is welcomed.

thanks in advacne

main part of frame is nearly done.....just need to attach where the seat will attach to....then clean up/cut off the excess bits off of the frame.

You'll need a lot of offset to use such a slack head tube angle in the first pic. Otherwise it will have very sluggish steering and you won't be able to keep it in a straight line at low speed.
