well its 95% done.  I have to cut one more radious and the slits in it.  I think it looks pretty good. Whats funny is you cant tell the weight difference in this triple and the stock one just holding them in your hands. Which is good because the top triplew will be 1/2 to 1/3 the weight of the stock one.

I have decided to make a new exhaust valve cover for the rear cylinder. It will include a mount for my subframe. So my rear head will be a semi stressed member. The 2 upper subframe mounts will be the frame and the one lower mount will be the head.

I did more frame welding and discovered my swingarm pivot was bent. So I had to cut the frame mounts off and order a good pivot.

top triple in the works.  Interesting note, Tornado hit my building at school while I was cutting this out this afternoon. Tore the roof all up and took alot of trees with it.

The media hype was out of this world for that front that came thru today. Ended up with a bit of windy rain that lasted all of 15 minutes most places. It mostly blew itself out by the time it got to us in Detroit. I think central MI got a bit of twisty clouds and a few touchdowns across the state...

That top triple really looks sweet.  Are you going to hollow out the four "radial" holes on the bottom triple the same as the top?
