I only did rear rotor,  took about 6 or 8mm off the od, each side. THE notch or bite off the side  took out one of the drill holes, it was a bit of work. He had a pic of rotor and a brake setup.....  brought rotor and brembo caliper.... said make it look like pic..
 That color of the frame..... I want to do a motor in silver, then all the removable engine covers in that color the frame is. Think it woukd look a titch more current , than what we usually run. . Looks good on the rims..

Frank,what color is the frame ?

Scott,that XS650 is a nice,clean Flat Track replica racer.  8)

Do you have a link to your Suzuki GS550/Katana 750 Hybrid ?

 Found on the 'net.
 I think the triple and hubs are from Cognito.
 Forks seem to be R6.
 Makes me want to do another XS, but I'm loving the modern Triumphs.... better base to start with??

_____________________________________________________________________
Wanted to tell you how much I like that Yammie Scott.  Brings back good memories of the "thumpers" (even tho that Yammie is a twin BTW) that we rode back in the early 60's.  Mine was a Matchless Typhoon..650 cc BTW.

Have to say nowadays tho..that I much prefer riding the fours..like most of us have here.

Cheers.  Ichi

Hi Frank..
I agree..a single exhaust pipe (3 into1) seems like it would look better/cleaner.
But overall that bike looks exceptionally good for a modification..don't you think?

True Inspiration. Note Lack of brown skateboard seats, Wrapped headers, Chopped subframes and Fockstone Tyres. PS love the Tracy Bike

checkin in.
1. nice cruiser
2. I like the seat proportions
3&4. Ugly but interesting to look at
5. I like the line created by the top of the rear cowl across to the handle bars.
6. I really love the k paint scheme on this f tank and the color
7&8. I probably like the matching rims and belly scoop the most but i love everything about that bike.
9. just sitting nice
10. looks balanced and nice color

That's a Beauty  8) Jeff  :)
lot's of work and expensive parts for something with a terrible riding position (i.e. long tank, low bars, no rearsets).  Still amazed the money BAT is bringin in.  I doubt you could get $4500 for that in Michigan.
