I call this my 5 minute build because I'm so busy with my business and 2 young kids that I get 5 minute increments to get anything done on it. It started as a stock 78

and my plan was to lighten it and make it stop and handle like a modern bike while keeping the feel of the original bike.

I started pricing all of the parts to upgrade the squishy floppy pretzel front end and decided that the 2000 zx6r wreck in the garage could spare it's front end.

I'm waiting on some rotor spacers for some salvaged ducati rotors and then my tokico 6-pots will be functional. Then I've just got to mount my electrics and I'll be on the road.
