Thought I would bump this back to the top with some fresh pics. I need to get this hot rod on the track before she goes up for sale.



As they say "anything worth doing is worth over doing." Overkill on brakes.



Shot of that cool underslung batt tray.


Keeping things controlled via Penske, Ohlins, and Scotts.



Couple fun ones all dressed up.


Thanks for viewing and feedback

Impressive! How has the geometry been affected by the front and swing arm?

We'll see how it handles this coming weekend at chuckwalla. I've tried real hard to keep the geometry as close to OEM as possible.

Some update pics.
Moved overflow(s), changed radiator out for gen1, airbox in construction, lots of little mods and fixes along the way.

I don't know if you have done it already but have you considered getting/making a,"Blank" and taking the Starter-Motor off to lose a few more pounds?

Thanks for the input. I've thought about that some because weight loss has been a big priority on this bike. However, I go to most track events by myself so being able to just push a button is nice. Guess I could start it while its on the stands....

Gen 1 radiator on gen 2. Narrower so should crash better but thicker core and a bit taller so should cool just as well?

Thoughts/options/constructive remarks?

After thinking about this bike that has done more sitting then riding, I have decided to sell.

Please PM me if you are interested in a track day weapon that is super fun, reliable and easy on parts.
