that's pretty hot.

I always like seeing custom builds with less-than-popular bikes.  [thumbsup]

That is really cool but it would be really slick if they could have gotten rid of the tank seams at the bottom and rear of the tank.

Edited-because I have no idea how or why what was originally posted got in there...  ???

I'm assuming it has the "backbone" style frame that runs under the tank as my old Honda 919 did, but basically yes.

Yes, Please

I am digging the shit out of the front brake reservoir! Third pic down...

I've seen this done on the rear master, never the front.  Why not?
