Sick! Very well done! Not the normal look, I like it!

The controls on it look awesome!

I have questions:
How does it ride?
Is that some sort of gold paint? Anodized?
What did the front forks come off of?
What did the rear shocks come off of?
What modified air intake did you use?
Who makes those red brake lines?
Mind if I ask the cost of all this?

Well this bike was my creation from the get go bought it at $100 but it did not have a front end air box and did not start. The front end was the front end off a 2001 cbr 929 rr and it fit quite well just had to had about 1 cm to the upper bearing lip and bore them out another .005". And I used 929 rr steering bearings. Rear shocks are and after market company that set the bike 1/2" taller and had to mount the swing arm joints on. The air intake I designed its was first made out of PVC pipe until I had it correct which is shown in the picture, but I now have it made in anodized black aluminum. Works great just need to correct the jetting. Computer is custom made by acewell all ditigital pickups now and can read just about anything on my bike. Exhaust I built and was a lot cheaper and sounds way cooler than a Mac 4 in my opinion. And that is gold pinstriping. I did all the work myself and it has taken me about eight months to collect find and get all these things together. The only original parts on the bike left are the frame, motor, rear wheel, swing arm. The brake lines I got from a guy I worked with in California, it was $40 for the pair. I built a whole new wire harness as well because of all the modifications to it. And the headlight is a 7 inch wi the halo frame. This bike with everything has cost me around $3,500.00.
