Wow, looks very promising! I really like the proportions of the the modest length/rake frame and those inverted forks.
Please, share some details on what you've got there and what the plan is.

-Eric.

Thanks Eric,

The frame is my own design....took me two years of cutting fitting and getting things right! The forks are Kawi ZX7's, wheels are stock. I was going to get some new wheels, but they look pretty good porportionally. I had a friend turn me some Cromo flush axles. I haven't decided on what to do with the bars, or exhaust yet. I fabbed up a battery/electric box that will fit between the seat tube and the frame rails on the bottom. It should be pretty clean when all is said an done.

Cheers,
Scott

updates. Almost got everything permanantly mounted. Just finished up the rear brake linkage, neck, seat springs(old valves), and a kickstand.
