Hoblick Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 awesome! i started in on the same project, was building it for the wife, then she decided she didnt want to be a rider, jsut wanted to be a passenger.i did the f2 front end as well you have to get the wheel machined down some, and change out bearings and what not... but it would be worth it to get a wider wheel / tire combo under it.looking good so far thoughand you can get a f2 rear wheel on there too!
