Nice to be single and be able to move your garage to the living room in cold weather :)
 
Mocking up the rear tail from a 08 Hayabusa. I wanted to retain the stock VMax seat and to not cover up the side covers as well. Lots of trimming was involved!!

That poor 'ol rear wheel is lookin' nude sitting out there all by its lonesome.

I like this treatment better, but hey, it's your bike, you're payin' dem bills, so what floats your boat.

It reminds me of the big M.F.'in alien Mamma (apologies to Grant Wood):

Looks like a B-I-G rake on the front of that Green Monster. I dunno, the massive center and the stretched wheelbase aren't my favorite look for the VMax, where the rear wheel is so-far beyond the rest of the bike, and the extended front end w/its aero front fender and the front fairing on there, it just isn't coherentI enough for my taste. But I give lotsa points for the attempt. Is the induction system going to be stock, or are you adding some type of power-booster like a turbo, or a supercharger? Since the exhaust is not showing tubing for a turbo, I'd say no to that.

I am curious to see what the final look is.
 
It is stretched a lot. I extended the factory swingarm/driveshaft 10" and raked the front 8". The induction will be my 2nd version of an aluminum intake for a Holley carb and nitrous plate. It looks like a mini tunnel ram. I have to pick it up from my aluminum welder guy then I will post pics.
 
Are you using an 80507-1 4-bbl Holley? What type of controller are you going to use for the engine? My friend who builds drag bikes uses Schnitz boxes which provide much flexibility in tuning. Here's a Kawasaki he built w/an Edelbrock NOS controller. One nozzle for NOS, and one for additional fuel to keep the engine from turning into a pile of slag.

This time around I'm giving a Holley 450 4 barrel a try. The nitrous is an actual Edelbrock square bore plate with 40ish HP jetting. I use a blue nitrous button on my throttle side to activate.
 
Start building your wrist,twist muscles. Them 4 barrels take a little more effort .
I don't remember for sure. But I think the bike we had. Had a holley 300 or 350 on it.
Good luck
