Thats right, you might not think its a streetfighter, but it is.

I'm making it more aggressive, lighter, faster, handle better, and stop better.

Plans. Adapt a Honda 900rr front end. Respring rear shock softer. Cut Neck and De rake frontend. Re Do leather seat. Clean up - paint - PC engine parts. Paint frame. Pull dents from tank. Build gauge cluster. Modify swingarm, space out belt drive, for fatter rear tire. Oil cooler. Few other trick secret bits.

Pics to come as soon as I get some help.

Already done. Monoshocked, Highly modified swingarm and frame. Bobbed. clubman bars. Dropped fuel tank 1.5 inches. Front dropped 4 inches, rear raised 4 inches.

Mikuni 40mm flatslide pumper carb. Ported head. Full stainless exhaust and aluminum muffler. Handmade.

oh ya will be pushin pounds.

Swinger is all tacked together now. I ran out of filler rod though, or else I would be doing alot of final welding right now.

Ill add a little sheet metal bracing after the final welding is done, Im still trying to get the placement for the bracing right.

This sure is an odd swinger design, but I like it. Its different and should work great.

started on my battery yesterday. ANYONE have any left over A123 cells they dont need? I need some.



Josh also helped me by building a wiring harness for the bike. A few switches and the batt and the wiring is done.

Make the clutch cover gasket and the motor will be running again.

Also a mount for the electronics bag.
