I took the frame over to a friends shop to work on the geometry of the frame, forks, and swing arm.

After the frame was setup I took it apart painted it and finally had a rolling chassis.

I'll get some good pics of the seat, but it's a little worn mainly from age cause the bike didn't have that many miles on it. The person I got the bike from told me that the seat was made by a guy in San Antonio that all the racers 30 years ago took their bikes to, I'll try to find out his name, but I don't think he's still working. The seat is black suade with smooth leather on the back.

Okay let me switch gears and talk about the engine. As you can see from the following pictures the 900 engine was really rough on the outside. But the inside looked like it had been run for less than a hundred miles. So I decided to glass bead it and paint it black.
