<<This is just what the "Low buck truck build" is but I was givin a pair of rear load bags from PORTERBUILT. So far to get it safe and on the road was about $905 in cluding registration.>>

I stopped following it when you bought a new dizzy instead of either fixing the one you had or trying to find one from the junkyard. We could argue all day about what your time is worth but most guys doing a budget build have more time than money. "Low buck" does equate to "fast" build. Only a fast build will make good press so the two are almost mutually exclusive. The way to make good press and a good story is to write about the junkyard experience which most "Low buck" guys can relate to as well. Just my 0.02!

Don't take this as criticism of what you are doing because you provide EXCELLENT content to this site and are a true craftsman. I am just trying to make my point about what I feel a true "Low buck" build would be.
