It's still a bit in the air what will become of this monster, but one thing's for sure: it will travel.
 
Alright its been a few hours, lets see some progress.. Just kidding man, I am looking forward to seeing what you do =) Im in.
 
You know a trailer hitch and a small trailer and you could tow the XL with you and have the best of both worlds for trips.

I was thinking that or a side hack that would carry the XL.

Thanks, Bud. Not finding them in Augusta either. This town is totally void of anything decent or vintage. I got the 350 from Columbia and the GL from a buddy north of Charlotte.
 
Work on a front fairing begins.
Somehow I have to figure out how to deal with the brake components on the lower triple.
They seem to kind'a stick out there.

Or do what Joe and Troy did and I will one of these days, double banjo at master and dual lines. one to each caliper. better breaking and gets rid of the stupid crossover and all the extra connections. Stainless of course.
 
... and it goes a little something like this...
