I don't know too much about them, i do know, however, that the losi xcelorin is an awesome brushless system for a basher/weekend racer. Full adjustability via PC link and a programming card for adjustments on the fly. They are cheap, tunable, durable, and losi has some of the BEST customer service around.
Thanks, K. I'll check em out now.

Look what i just found. I was looking through my pictures that i have in my nightstand by my bed, here's me learning how to ride a motorcycle at the ripe old age of 6. I think it was only about a week or so after i learned how to ride a bike, and i got this 1978 YZ80 for my birthday. My uncle was the one teaching me to ride it, and i remember he rigged a collet around the throttle cable so i couldn't go too fast or pop the clutch and make it flip.
Good times indeed. I wish i still had that thing.
Sorry for the bad quality, not only was it blurry from the disposable camera, but my phone cam. sucks. LOL

Where would you like to stretch it? Thinking of a few more degs rake?
You have a lot of options with a hardtail. And that one is really short.
What is that frame worth stock? What does a custom rigid cost today?

Reason: more ?s
i dont want any more rake. i want the fork mount(cant think of the name) farther away. im still debating. i like the small bike look.
The neck. I like it too, but a slight stretch, without more rake, will still handle... but look good too.

i have no idea. ive been finding rigid frames from $1k to $4k so needless to say i lucked out.
you did.
The Paughco frame I used for mine is $900 now. Wow.
I'd be really tempted to see what I could do without altering that frame. At least until I knew how rare it might be.
Googling 58 sportster sure doesn't bring up a lot...

Find a place with a good jig/fixtures. It really doesn't take much misalignment to really make a bike suck.
What year motors will fit in it?
