A lot of attention to detail, a lot of $$$! I like the 'buzzsaw' rear brake disc & the 'keg' master cyl rservoir. You also went to a new-style water-resistant electrical connector. Did you consider putting a better tach on it? Maybe the new speedo has an integral tach? Between thee USD fork & the Ohlins shocks, that should handle better. The stacked exhausts remind me of an XR750's w/o the heat shield, & a bit shorter. Any idea of weight savings?
 
Your bike looks awsome. I love the video of your bike in the kitchen. My wife wouldn't go for that.:clapping:

the exhausts are from what i understand Marks's. it weights like a Mark's 4-1 system but plus the extra can. i have the bike in my house the last year, every time my eye see's something i dont like , i have time to make my eye satisfied. i wanted those waterproof connectors cause for better results but also if someone notice it he can understand with how care this bike was build , three years is a lot time. the only thing left after i finish it and get it to the road will be a swing arm and that's it.

leecifer this are some good things when you live alone. but there are bad things too. but i can say i have the most expesive kitthcen
 
Looking great George! 3 years is a long time to be without the bike, keep us posted on your progress.
 
You need to get a better camera G... Good work
Fred got my new phone which has a better camera from my Htc wildfire s. Got it for free from my mob company as i sgned my new contract. I feel like small kid.WOW thats a nice phone Samsung Galaxy Note. Took some test photos. :punk:
