In being positive when I say this....one of my first jobs when I was a kid was working in my uncle's shop helping him restore cars and build hot rods...when I see your bike I compare it to (or it reminded me of) a tubed out prostreet, if that makes sense..not to be messed with! As for an added thought, maybe an undertail exhaust? I like what you did to the can though, how's that beast sound?

Can we see a pic of you sitting on the seat? Standing, riding position, and full on leaning forwards position?

I like the new additions/tweaks.

I will say this colorado steve, your styling has/is influencing my build . I especially love the salvaging of the factory belly pan but modded. I will be using that one if mine will cooperate lol

thanks for all the support guys!!!!! i think its gonna be pretty badass too

cutting out the mess of a tail i made last winter and starting from scratch was the best thing that ever happened to this bike

its funny, on custom fighters i dont get near this response... actually had one guy advising me to put a rear fender on it.... pfffftt..... this is a fighter not a touring bike!!!

not the same seat, but it is pretty comfortable. my seat is from a 600rr. the back is up a little higher to kinda sandwich me into the tank so its not so easy to slide off the back and i wont have to "hold onto" the bars to keep my *** from sliding under wide open thottle acceleration

mini update: ordered a thrust company stunt sprocket and chain kit today
