Its fucken awesome to sit on!!!
Tho i may need some bigger risers, its a bit more of a lean over that long tank than i thought it would be.

A quick mock up and its starting to look like image i have had in my head for 2 years.

That will sit between the risers not sure on the light yet as i may put my oil cooler out front where the light should be....

Stance looks great!! No a huge fan of the kicked up tail look, but that's just my preference. Click the link in my sig for my riser mounted dash, last couple pages.

Loving the stance and look, I bet it feels amazing to hop on. Also thrilled to see you get here since I'm going nowhere on my build and yours looks like mine's big brother haha

Haybus i saw yours the other day, verry cool but im going even smaller.
Tusch, mine went no where for months and it took me about 2 hours to get it rolling.... I wish imhad more time to put into it instead of an hour here and there.

I kinda agree about the tail, lines don't flow all that well but overall it's a beautiful bike. Nice work! :)

Glad u like it mate, the tail is a bit exaggerated in those last pics i want it to sit in the middle of where it is there and the top line of the seat, but i want to be careful not to stray too far from the original bodywork.

I may have to redo the tail plastic as i really dont like how the seat goes over the plastic.
