Thanks. I really liked the yellow when I painted it, but like a lot of bold colors (for me anyway) started looking too bright.
Extralights are from Optilux Fog from Susqehanna Rally

Steve, You got any more pics of this unbeleivable machine?I have posted this photo before, Photobucket and i are no longer on speaking terms so i can not upload the new photos.

Would you mind detailing the mods done to it?
Absolutely stellar job my friend.
It is a 1229 kitted/1150 engine, Carillo rods, Falicon crank. 38MM? Mikunis.
Raask rearsets, '91? GSXR1100 forks and brakes.
I wish i could say i put it together but the vast majority of it was done by Dale Patrick Davis of Oviedo, Fl. A guy i am STILL trying to get a hold of.
My computer skills stink.
Living and dining rooms are both changing into garage bays.

What's the rear setup? GS1100 swingarm with a GSXR rear wheel?

He actually made the swingarm himself. 22" pivot to axle. It has room for a 6" wheel.
Now you know why i want to get a hold of him.

A 170 tire? Damn.
Must. Have. This. Setup.
Must. Have. This. Setup.
Not much to look at, but it works. Used turn signals from a Ninja 750. Still large enough to be seen, but I think they really have a cleaner look. Seat was recovered by a local auto upholsterer. I had him copy the look of a Corbin. Came out really nice, comfy too.
'85 1150 (now 1229)
Bracket I made to hold Works Performance rear shock rez.
Bars from Honda NSR400. Lower than stock & I like it that way.
Adapters I made for mounting B12 calipers. Plus EBC Prolite rotors all around.
Enjoy.
