love the look you have got there, and little things like the fake cam belts and pullys work well :thumbup:

but fit some nice rear sets to this one :D

Really nice work!

A side note though... Why not actually put a brace on the swing arm, or swap it out? Sure, that cover gives it a nice look, but I hat things that are done that way, aesthetics over function, in that purely fake way... I'd say you'd get mighty close with an SP2 swing arm, and perhaps a little additions, and gain performance as well... Or a 900RR brace, placed on the underside...

Wow, nice work! I remember seeing your first bike all over the motorcycle forums. Just curious, but how do you get to the airbox on bike #2? Looks like you have to remove the clipons, fairing stay, and front & back bolts to the fuel tank.

Also, I have to agree with Tweety. You spent all this effort to make a tribute bike, you may as well spend a little more and swap out the swing arm or weld in a brace. Also, Danmoto now makes low priced adjustable rearsets for our bikes, so you might want to look into those as well.

I do agree it is really nice work but I also agree that on this type of bike you really should get the suspension sorted.
I would say along with the rear brace it needs a proper front end and brakes so it can actually work.....but that is just me :thumbup:

It is a bit of a major to service air filter and rear plug for that matter, Yes all the fairing/bars have to be removed, I've been painting the pink bits and will load some more pic's when I am happy with them.
