I'm a fan of the 80s turbo Dodge themed movie "The Wraith" and think that name would suit this bike well. 😈 And Iverson of course made the Dragstripper, maybe since this is a Rail a little play on words could be a DragRIPper

Looking forward to this progress!

Congrats to ConTENtious and Sid, amazing bikes and great competition 💪😎

Thanks for the support everyone 😃

So sorry I didn't see this way back when you posted it, but here are pics of the Screamer I brought back to life. I did end up selling it (regretably) as it's probably my favorite bike I've ever owned. I certainly know itd have been an amazing sight to see it next to the Cotton as stable mates...

I can't stop swinging by this thread just to look at the lines on this bike. It's literally an awesome piece and even with the little ding to the handlebar wrap still doesn't take anything away from it. Great survivor!!!

As Uncle Jesse on Full House would say, Lord have mercy! 😍

Thank you so much!!! Hearing comments like that has driven me throughout this process and truly made everything worth it to me!

Got the kickstand installed tonight in under 5 minutes! I can't believe how easy it was haha I got tied up this weekend with family functions so didn't get everything buttoned up as planned, but considering I thought this kickstand was going to give me the biggest headache it is such an ease of...

Great! Thanks for letting me know 👍 My streamers came in yesterday and I installed them quickly. And also installed my speedo drive to the hub after cleaning it out thoroughly with degreaser. I'll be adding some 3-in-1 oil to it once I get this back out into the garage this weekend to do the...

Should there be one more clamp in front of the shifter holding the rear brake cable to the frame or no?
