Often there is a bridge welded in under the seat cowl. Otherwise, I'd say yes.

i bet its bcakwards on the other side to highlight the shape of the tank
Yeah I was thinking that too, but    ....its WRONG I tell ya, WRONG!    :D   :D   :D 

I quess I had better have MCRider vet the wing direction on my next mod.  Would hate to have them flying backwards. ;) ;D ;D

Havin yer wings on backwards does seem like it'd slow ya down a bit.... ;D ;D

Whoa. I suppose you can put a lever anywhere it makes sense.




I can't really tell how that's mounted - to the engine? What's that bar?

if you're talking about the bar on the downtube, that looks like an oil cooler to me.  as for the rear suspension, which is SUPER cool IMO, looks like he mounted a plate to the frame and then the shocks to some outriggers off that.  super super trick!  as for the practicality, i don't know, but form follows function there, which is a-ok with me!!

I kind of figured that tube was structural... somehow... but it takes that weird bend to clear the pipe. Yep, never seen that done that way. Necessity. Invention. All that  ;D

looks like one of Gregg's bikes.  "We started with a new CBR1000rr and ended up with a modern version of the great CB750 Supersport."  i don't know about that, but it's pretty cool.  i like the wheels too!!

The BMW is interesting Iggy, but the 750 wouldn't stand a chance in one of our BOTM's. ;) :)
