if this is ok, I´ll make a thread about the build !
----------------------------------------------------------------
The chassies was located in the addic of a friends dads truckingcompany, it had been sitting there since new, 1992 - never used.
Engine was given to me for free as a friend crashed his bike with no Insurance.
So the choise was kinda easy !
My local motorcycle breakes has had a super discount offer, since August last year. with such low prices that it seems to be free.
brakecalipers 8 Pounds, shocks 8 Pounds, fueltanks 8 Pounds, rectifier 5 Pounds, frames 20 Pounds, etc etc
So i have been there about 50 times in the last 6 months hoardning parts :-)

Im not the best of welders, so i tend to weld a bit too much, so i have grinded down all welds a Little to make them look nicer, not the very best idea i know though :-)

gear-lever is of an CBR600. also i have lengthened the "lever" a Little & attached a plastic knob on it.
Hydraulic handbrake is the extra handle from my anglegrinder, attached to a CBR1100XX rear brake cylinder to a Kawazaki ZX9-R front brake 6-pot on the rear axle.
