It arrived packed in a dozen boxes with every part individual wrapped! No plans, no photos it's going to be interesting!






It's going to be awhile before I get started and probably a few years before its finished, if it ever gets started that is!

Is it just me or the beer speaking, but does the gun metal frame looks narrower than the white one?

Could just be the color difference makes it look that way.


It also appears the white frame has a slightly larger diameter tubing.  Also maybe just due to color difference?

i have had guys reach back and grab my crotch in an attempt to get around me. i'll either blow in their ear or ask them politely to let go of my wang.

I doubt the person who disassembled this thing would bother to get anything but a proper replacement frame.

But, I can see what you're talking about.  It does look narrower.  I think it's the lighting.

As far as the bike goes, just get an S4R 996 engine.  Better rockers, more power and more power.

Both frames are the same  ;D I think it's just a combination of colour, light and camera angle that make it look narrower!

Re: 996 engine I do have a spare 848 EVO engine I've been thinking about using! But I think I'd like to stay original as much as possible.

I can see the appeal of staying original.  Enjoy the build!
