So a bit of progress this weekend. Cut the rear of the frame for the hoop. Realized the width wasn't quite right.... oops.. DIY metal bender and projectile weapon, formerly a bike lift, sorted out the issue though. Mocked up a battery box. ...and did a ratchet strap clearance test in...

Neat idea doing something different, but even with good mileage it's still fossil fuel. What about going straight to electric bike? There are commercial EV bikes available of course, but what about something a bit more home built that doesn't look like a space ship?

Cool build! Did you sort out the carb issues?

Hey all, Been lurking for some time, but now time to get into my first build. This was my first bike I bought a few years ago, a baby Katana. It's a solid runner and doesn't really have any problems so I'd think it's been taken care of previously. PO and maybe some owner before that had been...

That's taking the tuning really seriously, nice! Love the build overall. I'm in the process of 1982 550 build with a similar style so lots of good inspiration here. Great fab work overall. Does the 650 also have the BS32SS carbs? From reading, these seem be about the worst CV carbs to get to...

Damn, those CRs are sexy! Fibreglass work looks good, giving me lots of good ideas here :) I will start a thread once my build is properly underway. At the moment I'm planning and gathering parts... and (slowly) working on a GS550 build.

The CBR900RR forks I'll be using are 732mm and I'll be using a 17" CBR/VFR front wheel (the Fireblade had a 16" but that's way too small). My 900F had the 18" front, but I assume frame geometry wasn't changed when they went to 18" from earlier years 19" so that probably wont't help me, I'll be...

Really cool build! Following along for sure. I have a 900F that I plan on giving a similar treatment, although on a bit more of a budget so will be using CBR wheels instead of spoked ones and a 919 RWU fork. Nice to see the Delkevic exhaust on an F build, I've been eyeing that same one and it...
