hi
Love that bike in the 4th pic
lol...that is the only hacked up pos he posted
The black bike with the brown seat is a hacked up pos?

It's not a hacked POS but to most enthusiasts its hard to look at it. I'll say the most appealing thing about it is its simplicity and its solid black, which is why I drew inspiration from it for my build. That rear frame rail is just inches higher than the tire and the fork tubes are pushed through damn near 2 inches. In my experience I'll just be bottoming out front and rear suspension all day riding that....it's basically just a bar hopper. If you look at the stock set up on a 750 there is a good 6-8 inches between the tire and where the frame actually touches when bottoming out. It's just a structurally limited bike now, looks good, but doesn't ride any better.

The bump-stop part of that seat looks big enough to carry a small order home from the store  :D

 I saw a video of going to the motorcycle races in Japan (I think) and in the parking lot there were 750 K0's and K1's for as far as the eye could see.  I have not been able to find it again.  Many other bikes too, but I was astonished by the number of Hondas.

 I'm a black frame guy but that might have just turned a corner with me. Gorgeous Frank.

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..

 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??
