    anyone have an idea of a shorter kick stand ???? since i lowered it i realised that the stand now props my bike the opposite way and if not on a slope it will tip over not a good thing! lol

        I absolutely love it! Your garage looks like my living room though.

                What are the extra lights? And where did the finned ignition cover come from?
                Thanks. I really liked the yellow when I painted it, but like a lot of bold colors (for me anyway) started looking too bright.

                As to the ignition cover - was on bike when I got it.

                  Steve, You got any more pics of this unbeleivable machine?

                  Would you mind detailing the mods done to it?

                  Absolutely stellar job my friend.

                    It is a 1229 kitted/1150 engine, Carillo rods, Falicon crank. 38MM? Mikunis.
                    Raask rearsets, '91? GSXR1100 forks and brakes.
                    I wish i could say i put it together but the vast majority of it was done by Dale Patrick Davis of Oviedo, Fl. A guy i am STILL trying to get a hold of.

                        Living and dining rooms are both changing into garage bays.

                            theres nothing cooler then a bike in the living room.


                            you can tell people you got a $3000 couch.


                            the kids are gone and the wife wants to take good pictures on the bike then um

                                He actually made the swingarm himself. 22" pivot to axle. It has room for a 6" wheel.
                                Now you know why i want to get a hold of him.
