Only thing I would do is run astraight pipe type of exhaust below the engine casing ... would streamline the already streamlined looks even more ...

Not really, the dude is dirt poor and has to barter with a junk dealer and ask for donations of raw material so he can fabricate all those parts. I guess the term "starving artist" didn't come from nowhere.

Perry,

You have skils and will that are far beyond me -- you have hand fabricated your own bike which is a thing I dreamed of but never had time nor will nor money to do.

You've done it, with a little bit of funds and a whole lot of gumption -- my hat is off to you my friend.

Please keep a weather eye on the composite material adaptor bracket on the front rotor mount -- racers use similar composite bits and pieces and they can develop cracks in a race season or three -- one dude got into a crash up like a decade or more ago because his pit crew didn't notice a small crack in his state of the art composite piece that very slowly grew into a big crack.

The composite material had very slowly delaminated on him in a very creeping insidious fashion due to stress & vibration over time .... part of his issue was his crew kept repainting his bike and the crack grew about at the same speed as the paint build up over the crack did. Now they have a racing rule against painting stressed (critical) composite pieces for that very reason.

Best to you dude, my hat is off to you !!

Thats a little of an overstatement bouletard, its not really like that. odfeller, that bracket is for mock up purposes only. its to see if I like the design before i replicate it in aluminum. But thank you for the concern. oh and the high pipe is staying, I love it.

Cool looking swingarm pivot, but on the chain side I still don't see how the redesigned swingarm will stay out of the way if the pivot point is the same.. we'll just have to see a photo of the built swinger and have one of those DURrrr OH YEAH moments.
