This winter has some big plans layed out. kz900 motor and possibly a vfr750 single sided swingarm.
Also a new exhaust is in the works, i LOVE my supertrapp but i have a unique design in mind.

i've been busy riding lately. Put roughly 2.5k miles on it since august.
i really like the rust and patina of the tank and tail. I may just get a more boxy kz650 d2/SR tank and build another tail from glass and actually paint those. Maybe see what i like best.

Sweet!! Good on ya for getting a hybrid up and running :woohoo: I like the 900cc and SSSA idea :evil: I trust you will go with a '94+ arm that will fit with minimal mods. I don't recommend going the route I went unless you really enjoy fabricating new EVERYTHING :blink: :laugh:
