The risers point inward more now, but the bar position is better in my opinion. More similar to the old superbike bars.

Looking good! The brake stay and swing arm came out great - did wonder about the bolts

I'm very jealous of the shop. I'm trying to figure out how to build something on my tiny European section and the best plan I can come up with fits a single bike with a small spray booth at the back. Would love to have some proper space like we had growing up back home. Bit expensive over here though

Skidmark Topic Author Offline User Posts: 1069 Thank you received: 260	When I retired, my wife and I bought a home on an acre of land. The last 25 years our home was on a 7000 sq ft plot. Now are front yard alone is 6000 sq ft. It is a bit surreal having this much space, and our dog(s) are in heaven! Retired gearhead '81 KZ-750 E2 '87 Suzuki Savage 650 Street Tracker

Working on the tail end today. Took apart the tail light and blasted all the rusty parts. I decided to clean and fit the rear fender back up. It didn't take long to decide the rear fender needed a serious trim job!
