4 years later

Post by liquidator76 »

It's has been 4 years sense I initially came up with the idea of wanting to build a liquidator clone that I could use as a rider and racer, a lot of things have changed sense then many different ideas, what parts to use and how I wanted to go about doing so, and finding parts during the fall I picked up a 78 440 cyclone I found sitting on the side of the road in central ny, I ended up stripping it down to the bare chassis, rebuilding everything and painting, as of today I am down to putting the finishing touches on it with the decals, skags and fine tuning. I couldn't be happier with the way it came out, I'd like to say thank you to Joe rainville, and jdrob for help with the parts and knowledge, I am really looking forward to seeing the throttle this winter
