Just wanted to show everyone what i've been putting together for the winter season. It's been a fun project and my first real venture into motorcycle modifications. The idea was just to create a fun street bike that I can take to the track this summer. It was sort of one of those projects that started small and just grew into what it is. I believe i enjoying putting things together as much as i do using them. :cheers:

Big thanks to Steve, Patty, Reid and Craig at Smithers Customs. I highly recommend Smithers for any work. Their labor is top notch, everyone is overly qualified, family owned, and prices are always better or even to internet prices. They're in Olathe, worth the drive if you have a serious bike you want to put together. Also, Terry McIntosh was a great help and got me set up with this swing arm for a great price. I highly suggest him for any swing arms or chassis modifications you may need (short necking, cut rails, etc).
I'm not trying to advertsie for anyone, i'm just really happy that i've come in contact with really helpful people throughout my first motorcycle build experience.
I'm excited to get out and do some riding and racing, also excited to hear what you guys think. I've modified cars for years, and this was the first time i've really made a project out of a motorcycle. It's been a ton of fun and i hope you enjoy the look as much as i do! :cheers:
*edit: sorry for the weak cell phone pics, it's all i've got for a camera*
