yeah its a cool bike overall,lots of details i dont like.
does anybody else think those square steel swingarms look unfinished with a slot milled in the tubing with axle slapped in there?
come on,make some sort machined ends or something for axle to mount to.
ditch the chrome ebay fins around motor and block the stock fins out. B)

I'm doing a drag style build and I don't think that bike is that nice. So Joe, maybe not is my vote. Hell, I think Larry's bike is a fucking lot nicer looking than that one.

Heard em called cooling fins and also engine covers.Have a set on my KZ cause 1. Im old, and 2. I like em.I am going to have them powdercoated black however cause my engine is all polished out and I need some contrast.bj
