Tale of an SR650.

Comin along nicely.
I like the squared tank look and the H2R tail.

The zx7 fairing has good lines.

Thanks, hard to find an upper fairing that would flow with the tank/tail combo. Its so damn square LOL, I have an extra 82 GPz750 1/4 fairing which would, but I really want to use a frame mounted upper fairing with a single headlight offset to the left.

Pic's of the upper off an 89-90 ZX7 for those that might not remember what they looked like.

My ZR550 arm showed up yesterday ( thanks again Mike ) so spent a few minutes doing a quick mockup with forks/arm/exhaust/bodywork, I'm diggin it.

Got an offer in on a set of 17" Behr black supermoto wheels, rear cushdrive and a set of Michelin power sports, 120 front, 160 rear. I should know today if I got them....I'll be buying a front double disk hub from RAD Manufacturing.

Got my electronic ignition cleaned up and installed ( 83 750L ) the mechanical advance was seized solid, I had to soak it in Sea Foam for a day before I could persaude it to free up LOL. And my GPz750 oil pan is ready to install as well, couple pics, before cleaning it up and painting it.

nice....i like the tank more as you go...

Havent got much done, but my wheels will be here in 6-10 days. And RAD Mfg has the dimensions for the front hub, just waiting for a reply :woohoo:

Here are the wheels she will be wearing

Nice work! What did the exhaust pipe come from?

Hmmmm I'm not a fan of buying Chinese parts, but the pipe is a Danmoto GP pipe for a Z750. Made in China, it's stainless and tig welded, pleasently surprised by the quality, but I think she's gonna bark...straight through design and there isnt alot of packing. I have some Supertrapp disks and end cap that I may use on it, shouldnt take much fabin to make it work.

I thought it looked like a Danmoto. They SEEM like good pipes for the money, but I have never had one in my hands.

It looks good from across the room in your picture. Keep up the good work.

That is looking real good. I am jealous about your swingarm.

Well, my wheels showed up, trial fit and all is good. Looking for a Ducati Sport Classic front hub, if I cant find one soon, I'll get a disk spacer machined and run a single 320mm disk for the time being. I lost ambition waiting for the wheels, but I'll be getting back into this ASAP now as I'm pretty stoked to see her on wheels LOL.

Looks Good!

Nice to see the swingarm being used, instead of stacked in my garage! You might try looking for a KTM950 Enduro front hub, they are spoked wheel and dual disc also.

Thanks Mike, I have a set of disks here that bolt upto the Ducati hub already, or I'd be considering the KTM Adventure 950/990 hub for sure.
