Holy motherhood! That baby is sweet! I can't wait to see it done. Where was that swingarm made? I will be waiting to see it finished. You brought freshness to this site. My bike hopefully will be finished by May, June. I have it almost finished. Just need a little more money to get her done.
It will be more to the stock look than yours but that is VERY nice. Thanks for sharing.

Rich,

Nice work! Post a video of the first engine startup. It's good to see someone use triple clamps with the correct offset.

Nice work, sweet welds. What type of welder are you using?

Coming along really nice Rich!! Where did you get your seat from? Did you buy that directly from PMC in Japan? Or is there a supplier in the US. Thanks, Doug
