Got the motor in and the wheels semi mounted. The spools are working great with my stand.

Look at all that floor space.
Is the new black paint or powdercoat?

Diggin all the black, cant wait to see this

[rwcfrank]

Its powdercoat, I am tossing around the idea of going with a black /white Cooley design in either glass or matte, still undecided. Today I will work on the rearsets and some of the other perihperals and will post pics as I go.

It is also currently an 850, right?
Or is there more to it? Cams, compression ratio, etc.?

Eric, it's an 850 with a pipe but thats about it for the motor. Milled the head a bit to flatten it up but only a bit. Most of the work is in the suspension and brakes.

[rwcfrank]

Brakes and some other stuff!

Got the bike to roll, installed the brakes coils, rearsets and that to Ray and the shim club the top end is ready to be buttoned up with the lash set.

More pics of the rear Bandit caliper with ZX 7 brake stay and custom hanger, shocks laid down a bit and GSXR 1000 rear sets.

Latest update on my 850/750, its a roller! Fired it up and she runs like a dream, still have to finish weld the exhaust, make up ss brake lines, add oil to forks and then its off for a real ride before she goes for paint.

Nice looking bike. I'll tune in to see how you finish it off.

Almost done, just needs the rear brake plumbed. http://gsrwcfrank.shutterfly.com/

It looks like a Hot Rod! 18" rear rim?

Looks great, Frank.
I like the stance.
Looking forward to a report on the Metzlers after a couple backroad jaunts.
