I know I'm going waaay out on a limb here, but I think we're looking at a future BOTM.

Again, great work. She's a stunner!

Turning out nice FJ.
It amazing how a simple clean job requires so much time.
And the time is worth it...

Cheers

Looking great! There sure are some nice 550 builds on these boards. You gotta get it done so you can tell us how she rides!!

FJ,

Your engine-less frame and painted tins are my desktop photo.

Just wanted you to know that EVERY DAY someone else is hoping you finish your project.

Thanks again, I totally copied the line for your seat/race hump. Seriously, scaled to inches in photoshop and printed out to a 1:1 pattern. Call me anal, call you awesome.

Howdy Jimmy, mate i was wondering if you noticed much difference in the front end with the wider tyre? eg: did you notice the steering was any slower.
Tossing up what size tyre to put on the front of mine

Out having fun!

I think you have an appointment w/ the dyno my friend.

bwaller · « **Reply #139 on:** April 17, 2009, 08:31:20 pm »

It's worth the wait Jimmy, well sorted, looks great.

Beautiful bike FunJimmy.
You will be having fun getting all the looks on that bike.
Great detail in your build!

Fantastic job FJ.

What was the story (again) on your swingarm??

aussie · « **Reply #142 on:** April 18, 2009, 12:21:18 am »

Very Nice jimmy, your attention to detail is outstanding. I can appreciate how much time and effort has gone into this build.

GoatBaSS · « **Reply #143 on:** April 18, 2009, 04:05:18 pm »

Impressive!

SUELZER · « **Reply #144 on:** April 20, 2009, 06:31:13 am »

Exceptional Jimmy!

any chance of getting some video with audio of that Kerker?!

How's the ride btw?! everything you dreamt it would be

Kemp · « **Reply #145 on:** April 28, 2009, 05:07:22 pm »

Hey Jimmy,
The Interceptor rocks. It's just a perfect balance of line and function, really hard to achieve. I also can't wait for dyno runs and more pics, second the bid for video!!

Kemp

Kemp

Been having way too much fun riding to get to the dyno.
Still waiting for my carbtune so I can get the carbs set, but she sure pulls nicely.
Makes you wonder just how much stronger a real cam would be.
Hummm, maybe next year.

papp101 · « **Reply #147 on:** April 30, 2009, 08:24:51 am »

ABSOLUTELY HOT!

Hope to hear a video of it running. Great build!

MRieck · « **Reply #148 on:** April 30, 2009, 02:32:06 pm »

A 2" Med. Comp baffle would work well in that pipe Jimmy.

burmashave · « **Reply #149 on:** April 30, 2009, 07:46:38 pm »

Sweet job on the build. The paint job is inspired. I'd say you hit it just right, and it's cool how the paint makes the stock tank (I think) and covers look custom.
