I'm in awe of your fab skills, envious of your resources, and appreciate your sense of style. That's one VERY cool bike.
But it reminds me of an old joke. A guy claimed to have the ax George Washington used to cut down the fabled cherry tree.
"Really?" asked a friend.
"Yes," he replied. "Well, I mean, the blade has been replaced five times and the handle fifteen, because they wore out, but it's still Washington's ax."
I know it's really gratifying to transform an ordinary thing into something completely different and awesome (particularly when it waves a big middle finger at sanity), but was there a point where you thought you might get better results fitting the LS650 engine into a different rolling chassis? Not that I think you should have.

Did you ever get the countershaft brake working? The last photos show no caliper.

Im currently building a new swingarm for it, with linkage. Im also going to cut the neck off of it and steepen up the rake.
Im having some electrical issues. I had a friend build a new, very simple, wiring harness. It totally eliminates the decompression relay and solenoid. With a full charge the bike cranks and rides fine. Im getting 12.89 volts at idle and any rpm, it doesnt vary at all. Once i ride the bike say more than 10 miles, the battery does not have enough power to re crank. This problem existed the last few times before the new harness.
I have already replaced the stator once about 6 months ago. Ill do the resistance check again but I hope its the regulator rectifier instead. Its a unit off of a gsxr 750 I think.
Anyone have any clues? advice?

I have no advice, but I'm impressed with your fabricating skills. Looking like a cool cafe racer!

Well.. it's not charging the battery definitelly. Stator is new, harness is new, guess connections could not have rotten out that quick. Change the reg/rec seems to be the only thing left to do.

Toying around with paint ideas, What do you think? The raw aluminum part will be satin white to match the tank. Just in sharpie atm.
