Thanks! It has 2009 YZF-R1 front forks, wheel, brakes, et al.
The rear wheel is 4.5x17" from Yamaha FZR6R, the swing arm is shorted and narrowed in the pivot area from a FZ6R w/ 2009 R1 rear shock.
The tank is a legendary-motorcycles.com glas tank.

added LED tail/brake lights, and bobbed a crappy old fender I had. May put the front back on as well.

Here is where I'm at with mine. I streamlined her a bit and so far I am satisfied. I need to figure out how to get the cat eye tail light to mount more verticle plus I'm thinking of bobbing the rear fender a bit. My brother is recovering another seat in more of a cafe style. With the clubman bars and spare seat, I can switch back and forth from stock ride to cafe depending on what I'm feeling like.
This went from a $500 non running wore out machine to being back on the road. I can't believe how neglected she was. At 63,xxx miles, she still has a lot of life in her!

Badass 73-78 Chop. Tank and fake oil bag are off for some fab work. Wheels freshly relaced with stainless steel spokes. Rims freshly powdercoated(thanks Pops!) Frame freshly powdercoated(Thanks Pops!). Top end of motor off 73 TX...I spend about 4 months filing ,sanding and polishing it. Bottom end off a 78. Prepped the bottom end and squirted it with Duplicolor hi-temp black and bolted the damned thing together(finally!). Dropped it in the frame. 4" over front end. My welder is gonna come over and hook up the TCBros weld-on kickstand,rear brake pivot and rear hub stabilizer bar after the other fab stuff is in the bag. Electronics are gonna be quickly Pamco and Banshee magneto swap. Gonna be talking to Hugh. Hope you see the potential!
