Blood sweat and beers!
 
Amazing detail. Clean lines. If it runs as well as it looks, then it should run like a scalded dog!
 
Paul75,
Sure is a wild and exciting looking ride. Very nice work !
I am curious of your intended riding area ? I would enjoy trying a bike like that out on remote mountain roads.
Are you considering a front fender ?
Good Job ! -RT
 
Very nice Paul!! Now all ya need is a fork brace...
and some red pinstripin' on the wheels ;)
 
Yes, you're going to want/need something on that fork to brace it, either a fender or an actual brace. That single disc puts lots of twisting force and flex into it when applied. Adding a fork brace to mine was one of the best handling mods I did. It made a difference I could really feel.
 
Will do.....one think I will need to do is TIG a brace to the numberplate bracket as it vibrates all over the place. Another thing that hit me is how small these are, I'm 6'2" and dwarf it! Kinda reminds me the Harley 48 I had last year. Think this would be suited for short blasts around town....you certainly wouldn't want to tour on it :)
