13k miles for only 1200 pounds. Not bad at all.

Work will begin shortly. Was going to part out the black bike but I think I have a buyer for the entire lot.

This colorful bike is getting a framectomy. The US frame I have from the black bike will go into this one. The only other things im going to do is add a 19l tank (currently in the mail) and a Penske rear shock. I have one more part to go on this bike but im not saying what it is until I change the frames and put it all back together. This mod will require a welder. Thats the only hint im giving. Actually, there might be something in the pictures ive posted that will give the secret away.

**Edit. Yes, there is one picture that shows a certain automotive item that will be going on this bike. Again, not saying what it is till frames have been swapped. I have to keep what few people who are interested in this project a reason to stay tuned :wink:

No, a somewhat more drastic mod.

I havnt taken many pictures of the work ive done so far but here is at least one. Ive actually gotten much further. The us frame is now bolted in place. Few things left to do: mount the tail light (the mounting tabs on the inside of the tail fairing is broken), remount the front forks, mount the new tank (that came in the mail today) and put the front fairings back on. Then I can register, mot, tax the bike and then ride!
