Surfing the web , I stumbled upon this bike a guy made in europe. To tell you the truth, my pants were wet after I saw it.

If anyone knows where I can find the same exact seat he's got, please let me know. :!:

Sorry That wont work; saying it is red but no new photo. Get to work posting that new pic .

The exhaust looks great; Did the can just slip onto the mid pipe?

thats a factory exh off a stock bike isnt it?? im guessing because of the tight clearences, looks nice whats it off of?

pretty bad v&h /muzzy ect... couldnt put 2x2 together and make a better product, most aftermarket headders are dented because there made with pipes stacked instead of side beside

Haven’t posted here in forever…

I parked the bike for the season last week which means time to continue my idea of improvements. Biggest things on my list is the seat and rearsets. I chopped off all the mounting tabs and mocked up the new seat, now I just need to shorten the frame a bit, box it and make new mounts. I could never decide on a caf? type fiberglass seat. This ‘70s Suzuki flat seat ended up being exactly what I wanted but never thought I’d find. It’s literally like new and I paid all of $20 for it.

I’ll probably make my own LED taillight or modify something premade with additional LEDs. I want it bright, very bright.

I got my seat from these guys! Hotwing Glass. Good quality Fiberglass. This particular seat looks VERY close. It's the same style. They have a few options.

The bates2 seat here could also be a very good match!

That looks like a nice match up from that angle. What's it look like from the side?

If your question was meant for me it's a Hindle header and midpipe with a Yosh RS3 can. The pipe was meant for a first generation GSX-R 750. I had a Yosh Duplex on the bike previously that was meant for the last of the oil cooled 750's and it was a much tighter fit under the sump. The Hindle gives me much more ground clearance than the Yosh.

Heh.. Sarcasm will not get you anywhere.

Great first post; looks like a high end build. Lots of Yoshi and Ohlins parts. Those forks Ohlins as well?

Interested to see how you run the pipe to that exhaust.

Welcome to the site

Thanks!

The plan? I hardly know myself. First I thought I'd just go ahead and fighter it, then it turned into what it is now - a sort of "what-if" AMA superbike in a Yoshimura race theme.

Thanks! Dunno about high end but I've definitely prioritized good running gear. Front forks are KYB from a 2006 Hayabusa. Found them for cheap so I thought "What the hell!" and bought them.

I'll start a thread so you guys can see what has been done and what's being done.
