I'm gonna start my thread now, since I'm going to be doing it all over the next month or so. Updates might be a bit slow at first, but it'll get some good momentum starting late next week.

Plans are to go to 810cc, plus replace a few parts that need upgrading, rearsets, and a wide rear tire and custom swingarm.

Heres a pic of the bike half torn down:

I've got a lot of cleaning and sandblasting ahead of me to get the engine and exhaust up to snuff, and then I have to rebuld the engine after the block is bored and I receive the rest of the parts I need. Gotta figure out a way to mount the rearsets too, shouldn't be too difficult.

Rear wheel and brakes should be on the way soon from a CBR600RR (sorry, honda parts are more plentiful.cheaper in my opinion). Then I need to have my swingarm made, mount everything to the frame, and see if she'll go! Hoping to have her on the road in June sometime, most of the sandblasting and stuff should be done by next weekend, and the majority of the remaining parts will be on the way by then as well.
