Some more specs on that bike would be nice. It looks awesome. I would love to know how you adapted the single sided swing arm and the 1kRR rear tail and under tail pipe.

Nice. The hurricane seems to make an excellent street fighter.

That is sweeeeeet!
Please more details! I'm curious on the weight. Have you run it across the scale? What about suspension front and rear. Gauges?.... I got a ton of questions...

Maybe you should send some pictures to Honda.
I like the looks better than the 919. Great job!

I also am curious about the the swingarm (any machining or special parts).

yea i still gotta put things on like the flyscreen and a little air duct looking thing to cover my fuses and wires. i think i might go with some renthal bars and mount an electric speedo/tach on those. i'm also thinking about mounting a belly pan so it equals it out a little more but not sure yet. i wish i would have tooken more notes down about everything when i was building it like the size of the spacers/bushings for the swingarm. i'm sure i'll have it back apart this winter to get it painted so if anyone wants to know i'll measure them good then. i bought some pipes with different bends in it and started cutting and welding and connected those from the header to the midpipe and those turned out so good that i wish i would have made new header pipes too so that it all looked the same but that might be another job for this winter. the jardine pipe is the race version so it is very, very loud, even for my taste, so i might try to pack it somehow. i found some pod filters that fit under the tank with a little bit of tweaking, the air rushing through those sounds pretty sweet. i'm starting to think this is one of those projects thats never gonna be finished but its been fun, thanks for all the responses, if you want to know more stuff just ask.
