Here is a few pics for everyone of the final product, my dream bike! This thing is the definition of an american "hooligan bike", "street fighter", or any other name you want to give it!

I was offered a few platforms to start with and the oppurtunity even arose to use a CBR600RR to get the right "look and feel". I have no real reasoning to why I used the honda chassis, aside from the fact it was in great condition, the engine fit, and it has adjustable suspension.

I was on the edge of my seat everytime I posted more about the project that I had going on and it was more settling to see that every time there was another supporter and another fan of what I was up to. I enjoyed the feedback about the design.

I have about 18 hours of fabrication work left to do for bodywork and frame. But, it runs and I can finish out the season on this monster. I have video footage and a personal thanks for you all, the riding footage will be this weekend!!
