the original plan was a black and red bike, BUT i decided that was too common.

so I was going to do red rims,

I will still do red accents, white stripes on tank, I think.

I have the rims hanging on the wall in the "workshop" the other name for my shed...lol

they will either go matte black, or get powder coated with the black mirror powder.


I will have to send them out for that, since I do not have an oven big enough for them here.


just picked up a fiberglass seat, and I have some awesome ideas for a tail light, hoping to find a curved LED light that will fit the profile, then french it in.

I need to find some rearsets, probably R6


I also have a ninja swingarm sitting here, havent tried out the fit on that yet


h yeah, and I am really looking for a GAS TANK TO USE.
 not sure what I want yet, but I need something with knee dents i think

AAARGH!!!!!
My tank is no longer nice :(
I was toying around with the bike today trying teh swingarm, damn thing fell over and dented the tank :(it's only 1 dent, hope I can pop it back out.



BUT I got the Ninja swingarm mounted, have to figure out bushings for the pivot, spacers for the wheel, and machine the end for the honda axle.
