Thank's!

"Everything" was done.

Been down to every nut and bolt.

Major things done are:

Motor: All gears undercutted
Crank rebuild, had to replace 1 rod, NOS slotted one innstalled.
All other bearings and seals replaced
New bores
Chopped a set Jollymoto to my own style

Tail: Build on a replica H2R fiberglass.

Wheels: Buchanan, gold antique. Stainless spokes, trued them myself. Black pinstripe.

Hugger: Chopped from a Madura GV1200

Swinger: Chopped from a 1980 GSX1100 Katana. One of the first production bikes with a alubox swinger

Paint: Brownblack matt, with same color in clear on top of tank.

Clutchcover: Chopped and build in a clear window. Used a S2 clutch ring as outside base.

NOS John Tickle rearsets.

Tarozzi clip ons.

Progressive springs in front fork, and NOS aftermarket air pressure set for forks from a Yamaha XS650

Integrated multiinstrument in headlight

Home made electrical harness

Chopped front forks to make the Kawi Eliminator front mud guard fit

Portwork done, had 109 rwhp at best

No key, all switches on side panel, taken from a MINI (retro look)

New tig'ed oiltank where the air box is located originally, you see the clear plastic line outside side cover for oil level.

pluss pluss
