Sorry been playing the waiting game for my Billy Frame and a refund for my damaged engine. Luckily, I did get sent my correct bike a week after I got the first one. Hopefully I will get my Billy frame by the end of the week and I think I'm just going to buy an engine from another retailer instead of waiting a few more weeks for my refund. Eddy did post pics of my frame in the classified section under "psst" if you want to check it out before I get it.

Got my "Billy" frame a week ago and after tearing down the Kikker frame I shot some comparison photos for all Y'all but first Billy alone.

For the detail obsessed like myself:

The naked Kikker frame weighs 25lbs.
The naked Billy frame weighs 33lbs.

According to my ultra accurate brand new Homedics bathroom scale. But both the frames BMI are underweight, they'll need some fattening up.

As you can see from the pics the Billy frame is a nice amount bigger and longer. I really like the increased incline from the rear axle to the neck making it look more chopperish. I might need to get a new tank though as the factory one will probably look too small. I have since mounted the seat and oil tank and the stretched and heightened frame feels alot nicer to sit on. I'm 5'11''

Eddy is currently working on beefing up and stretching the front springer and I'm going to order my engine off of Ebay for $950 shipped. Can't seem to find it cheaper. Although I thought this project would take me only a month I now realize that it probably won't be ready till spring. But that will allow me to take my time and get it exactly how I want it. Unfortunately how I want it will not really matter as I will be selling it when completed as I am leaving the country in March.

Badbr8k, you asked if you got a knockoff on pg. 2, prob not, mine isn't stamped and I pulled it out of a lifan bike I found at the salvage yard, 4,000 miles on it, runs great & is still super clean but I only paid a third of the ebay cost & got the entire bike so I kept some worthy extra parts including the exhaust pipes which are actually good looking.
