It was either that or a cat.  It was very hard to get the cats to cooperate.

I like it.. I also like the use of PVC... Looks pretty sweet... I'm hoping to have ONE project bike someday, much less 3 like you Mak!

took me 3 weeks to get the paint...same stuff they paint the lines on the road with...lol

I've got her motor back in...right now I'm settling some suspension issues...the shock assembly sits right where Suzuki thought a bunch of other stuff should go.  Got to relocate the battery and starting solinoids...then plug her up and she'll run.  Also trying to figure out if I should go with the stock half-fairing or if I want to run her naked...

Go naked and show off those forks and triples, and the frame.

I'd run it naked too, but I would use one of those Acerbis head light masks with the duel head lights.  Or duel head lights of some other sort.  That would look dope.

That's going to be a cool bike.

Naked with the dualy headlights. That would be off the hizzy, if you catch my linguistic drift.

The frame is a tad bright for my likings, but whatever your into. The wheels and swingarm are awesome!

yeah the frame color isn't exactly as "digable" as I thought it would be but I still like it enough.  Next season I'll powedercoat it or something.

It's still gorgeous, though. Definetly post up some pics when it's all done. I look forward to it!

Thanks Chris!!

As for the front...for the time being I'm going to get a set of R1 or R6 gen 1 headlights and build a bracket to hold them, my guages and my stock windscreen.  I think it'll look sick...especially with a little fiberglass trimming.
