Another before the body was put on with me and my father:



It's at the body shop getting ready for paint right now.

Here's the bike:

No problem. I know the Cobra is not really on topic but is kind of like a four wheeled motorcycle. No top, no windows and loud and fast .

I haven't tried for a top end speed but at the drag strip it will do 0-90 in 8.3 seconds and that is in 3rd gear. It has a five speed.

Thanks. I've added a Kenne Bell twin screw supercharger since the pic where you can see the engine. Gave it about another 100hp kick and a bunch of torque. It's getting ready for paint right now so I've had some time to get the bike out and get it running. I may in be over my head on the clutch. Think I'll track down a local and see if I can get it fixed. Thanks for the offer Jim but my garage computer is still running Windows '98 if that tells you anything about my computer skills, no web cam.
