915 superbike on the cheap

[rockcitycafe]

Got more fairing work done

 

[Spalding]

Looks much better lowered like you have it in the second set of pics. Awesome work!

That is beautiful metal work! Did you form the window or pull it from an existing fairing?

 

[rockcitycafe]

I had it from another project, just matched the metal curve to it and trimmed it a bit

Lookin good. Was that a a SOHC with a front end swap i seen in one of those pics?

 

[DetroitStyle]

First off... you're doing way more than I would ever consider, I'm a relative noob...

That having been said, I agreed completely when you went with an angular tank to match the tail... but to me, the very rounded fairing looks out of place. I'd like to see you go off the deep end and do something angular up front as well, with creases and edges.

*flamesuit on!*

Fairing mostly done, installed headlight holder and front mounts, rear mounts will be fixed to the tank so I have to finish that first, almost done with the oil tank, would have kept stock but it didn't clear the swing arm

 

[Brodie]

Nice. I like how you have left space for what I would assume is a battery box. Keep up the work it is great to see this come togeather.

 

[Cuba Libre]

(At the risk of repeating myself) ... impressive!

some more pics, finished hooking up the oil tank, almost done with the controls too

 

[rockcitycafe]

had to change the angle of the dangle on the oil feed, didn't want to wait days for another an 10 bung, so I made one. some more pics in progress, finished up the tank..

 

[rockcitycafe]

got almost all the wiring done, hooked up the foot controls, bled the rear brakes etc etc etc. have a checklist and about one day of work left before I can take it out for a test ride... can't wait to finish the 915 engine and swap it into a bike that's ready to rock

Awesome work as always Sean! The shape of the tank is perfect for that bike I love it and it's my favorite part of the project although the work on the fairing is very impressive also. Wish I could build a bike as quickly as you are doing here!
