          Great work! Terrific engineering and style! The more I look at the photos, the more interesting things I see.

            The seat is unbelievably comfortable, my throttle wrist gives me pain long before the seat bothers me. I made the exhaust myself based on an automotive style header, but it's similar to some I've seen on drag bikes too. The rear shock and bellcrank is GSXR600 with a custom pushrod and heavily modified stock swingarm.

              I don't much care for that style, but it looks to be very well executed. THe suspension is interesting, and the minimalistic but still artful seat mount is a nice touch.

              Don't get anything caught in that spring.

                  GREAT job ! ! ! !

                  If you're going to cut em, cut em well.

                  You, Sir...have cut VERY well.

                  How/where are you storing the "electric juice" ?

                    Great work Interceptor, that's one of the nicest GS chops I've seen particularly because of the lenghts you went to to incorporate the rear suspension. A few more detailed pics of that area would be greatly appreciated, if you can...

                          Was wondering where you got your collector?

                            It's from Jeg's, had to buy a set of 2 for a V8. The V-band clamp and rings are extra, most often used for turbo systems. They're expensive but I like them because they make a leak free connection without a gasket, and they come apart easily.

                                This bike isn't my style at all, but it is still something special. I like the originality, and the attention to detail. I see tons of modified bikes where people work their heart out and they turn out fuggly, in one way or another. This bike looks like it was concieved in a design studio and then artfully built, not many custom builds stack up to the overall package this bike has. Good job.
