I would guess by the amount he had it shortened it was off a dirt bike.

Its pretty rare to see a sport bike with an offset front axle.  Gotta be dirt bike.

Didn't read through the thread, but might be the original front end just shortened up? A lot?

Hey look! The cool Comstars  ;D - and the rest of the bike - billed as an F2



I thought the F2's came with the 5 spoke comstars?

Ahhh, that's where they nicked them from - outside the US only?

Agreed. Supposedly its supposed to look like that...but why make the rest of the bike look so clean and smooth, and then make those welds look like crap...I guess I just don't get it.

Johnsy, I love the green color scheme. Not a huge fan of the tail but I'm feeling the green and white.

You know, that's initially what caught my eye. I like it. Probably because that's what my welds would look like if I could weld.

You know the cafe thing has reached a whole other level of abstraction when guys who CAN weld are faking bad welds for effect  :o Picasso did that kind of crap  ;D

That's what I thought. If they were doing it for affect, they should of carried it over to another part of the bike as well imo.. the rest of the bike is really sweet though.
