Gosh, what a piece! It just fell apart like that?!? :laugh:

Are you using the old engine in the new frame? I'm sure it'll be a great build, John. You guys keep us posted. :thumbsup:
 
Nice bike..........wuz

Hey we need a straight set of forks for a gen 1, think Dave would miss those?

They are going on the other chassis, we are building basically 2 bikes.

The other bike will be a salvage rebuild over the winter, to help re-coop some of the loss Dave has in-curded!

Hey! Silver frames have feelings you know! Now i have to go comfort mine and tell her its going to be okay....

My busa is all black, I think if i went with a black frame/swingarm it may be a little much? I have been toying with that subject though lately...

All you will have to do is look at the 07s. :whistle::whistle::whistle:
