As of June 2008 - Progress has been very slow due to other responisibilities..(Man life can get in the way of fun some times!)

Here are pics of the adapter ring I machined to mount my new Ducati rotor.  The rotor is 320mm in diameter so it is huge.  With the twin piston binder I am going to put on it should about stand the bike on its nose!




Here it is mounted on the wheel.




Now here is a bike as of today.  




The seat is just sitting on it but you get the flavor.  I need to get bustin' on this thing so I can get it running this summer yet to get the title inspection done before winter so I can work on the real build!  All in all it is coming together nicely and I think will look very sweet when finished.

This is amazing.  I can't even begin to imagine taking on this kind of project.  I'm always impressed with art forms at which I'm totally incompetent.  Keep up the good work.  This is the real deal in custom bike building.
