Back end on today. Waiting on dust seal for the stem bearings, and new wheel bearings so the tires can be fitted.
Hope to have in rolling next week, motor is finished in 2 weeks
Got some rubber on today, went with the Dunlop K82.
And for the first time sat the tank on the frame, the tank will one day be painted, but maybe i will leave that for winter, i dont mind the color sooo much
I don't know what design/color scheme you have in mind overall, but I do like it as it is now. Plus, for me, this is one of the better tanks for custom applications...
well i was thinking over winter i will have the tank painted Matt Black,
and then where the white pinstripe is on this tank have the green, i like the shape of the pinstripe and think it would work well with the lines of my tank.
first off i just want to get it running for summer
Cool bike. I love the humped tank over the clipons.
What are you doing with the engine? Specs?
And don't you need to brace the frame underneath? Two curved metal pipes just hanging there without any sort of bracing aren't much for rigitity...

The part of the frame going from the steering stem downwards is just two rails (tubes) which then curve backwards. I would think that they would be better braced (reinforced) somehow if any spirited riding is in the bike's future. Just an impulsive thought I made when I saw the bare frame.
Anyhow, the bike looks really cool.

Like i said, there are two engine bolts that go through the front that there'for act as bracing. i havent taken anything away so i dont see this beeing a problem, the bike is a kz440 1981 not a yamaha YZF-R1
