Some very nice bikes at that event!  I really like the blue 500/4 with the original Giulari.

And, I'd really like to know what make this one is??

Yeah he builds real nice bikes. The baby blue CB550 with the side car is his also. The black one was an inspiration for my SL175 build.

If it's like any train I've EVER been on, he wouldn't have just put that bike on the kickstand and called it a day ;)

This is now my favorite bike.  I'm going to build me an RD something along these lines, I do love me a smoker. I still have very fond memory's of my RZ350 from the 80's.

That just looks wrong. The triangular bit is far too big.

There's more than that, lowering blocks and stock footrests  ::)
CB550 is already too low and drags stuff on the floor, lowering it 2"+ makes it pretty much unridable in my opinion

I felt the same way. I was looking at all the build pics and thought "this thing is going to look cool" But when i found the last picture i did not like the end result. The middle of the bike is to low slung. I t could be longer or a different tank. But hey the guy seems to know what hes doing so maybe the end result will be kick ass, we just cant see it.

thats what it is ... the middle is just too low slung .. it's kinda reminiscent of a little kid holding a 10lbs bowling ball .. you just know he's gonna drop it any second  ;D ;D ;D   

  but like you said , it's not done yet .... it may turn out better

The tank and frame are tilted upward, to house the v twin.... If the frame and tank were in the normal monster pos... It would look longer
