Looks like it might take up a lot of space in you garage. I would gladly take that burden off your hands. PM me if it interested.  ;D

Very nice indeed. Great job so far and what is the deal with that tail section?

Gotta' make it somehow

The only thing this picture needs is a step ladder to go with that chain [cheeky]

  Thanks for all of the compliments guys!
 
 I made the tail also. I had a vision of what I wanted this bike to look like, kind of cafe racerish, but I didn't want one of those cafe tails that don't fit very well. So I carved the tail out of foam, covered it with fiberglass and made a mold for the CF. Unfortunately when I pulled a vacuum on the mold some of the CF moved and the weave in some places is not straight. So, I am going to paint this one black with silver stripe to match the tank. I hope to offer these in the future if I can get the weave straight on the CF. I could also do them in fiberglass, either primed or painted. I made a CF clutch cover also but it's not done yet. The seat pad was done but I didn't like the look so it's going back to be redone.

 Yeah, it looks clean....I hate to put the wiring back

It weighs 15lbs. The stock frame weighed 27lbs. I probably could have went with a thinner wall on some of the tube and saved a little more weight, but I didn't want it to feel like a piece of spaghetti either. It will be interesting to see what the dry weight of the complete bike will be. After building the frame and weighing different parts it makes me wonder about some of the dry weights I've seen. Anyway I'm shootin for 350lbs dry, but don't know if I'll make it without CF wheels.

Can't wait for DucStock....lots of work left. I'll start a build thread soon.

You'll get your goal.  I revamped my 96 M900 several years ago, just nipping and tucking at the (stock) frame, powder coated it afterwards.  Rewired, replaced stock bits with aluminum or composite, magnesium wheels and weighed in at 380 lbs. with a completely full tank and 4qts oil.  Then again, it did have a 7a/h battery, when it needed the extra oomph of the 12 a/h.
