This bike deserves a JMR Billet 915 with a Stage 3 head to live up to the balance of the build! Really nice execution of both the frame and the body work.

Go the whole hog Cal and get a 1000cc sleeveless, nikasil coated billet block, {like mine  ;)}  lighter and more cubes... ;)
I have a friend that has pipe benders and a pile of nice equipment, { helping him move at the moment, what a nightmare, the lathe is huge  :o}  going to talk to him today about building a custom frame...

Someone suggested I lower the dash board to under the triple tree. I have seen both ways on HB1. I have to say it was a good call to move the dash under. I like it better.

Do you prefer that Brembo rear vs the older style?  Any thoughts? I think the other style has a more vintage look.
 Great spot for rear master,  no welding to frame..

I thought I would stay consistent with Brembo all around. I think for the most part I'm staying in the vintage arena. There really isn't a standard for HB1. I would have liked to go with Fontana, but that was around a $4000 hit for calipers and master. It is an option if someone wanted Fontana.

Thanks

That rear axle is just for mock up right (please) everything else is too beautiful for that scratched up thing.

Lol, All that is, is something to hold the wheel on in order to continue working.   A special axle was shipped to me just today.
Remember this is one off bike.
I haven't used duck tape. Yet  ;D

I used one of my new lasers I manufacture to check front and rear sprocket alignment. Looks like I have the spacers correct.

I think Lordmoonpie does but the are pricey CR750 replicas - about $1300, in England and require welding assembly.
