Thanks,

From what I can tell, it will haul loads of it:-D Mainly because it doesn't weigh anything. I am still running it easy because the I also rebuilt the engine as part of this project. Forks are off are 41mm from a '94 Katana.

About 8 months in the making and am just waiting for some good weather to get it on the road and work the bugs out.

I think heat wrap is weird, but your bike looks great! Nice job!

The main reason the header is wrapped is because it is about 25 little pieces welded together. I didn't want to take the time to grind every weld down so on went the wrap, plus it gives it a hot rod sort of look. I may finish the header someday, but for now I am just going to ride it.

Overall it is a great bike and definately a "one of a kind". But I am always a sucker for racing stripes.... as you can tell by mine...

Hell yeah it does! I love the bike. Nothing but cold hard functionality. I think it looks great, none of those "pretty bits" to get in the way of it going.

Ah, I hear that!

That looks like exactly what I want to do but with the original wheels and forks. What did you have to do to mount the engine in the frame? Thats a 750 engine right? Is the 750 much bigger than the 600?

I F-in love it! Header wrap is tasty. very cafe/rod. The tank is sweet! You hammer that yourself? Very nice all around.. dig the black motor, and the whistling speed holes in the sprocket cover..good stuff nice touches
