it was a basket case. it was just a rolling frame, with a motor that had the head off of it in a box. not much to take pictures of. but i'll see what i can dig up.

Got a bit of a "Mach 5" thing going on I think.  Very cool looking.  What's the swingarm from?  You do those knee dents yourself?

Good job!

Oooh, I like those gauges.   ;D  Mind sending or posting a pic of just your gauges/triple? 

Wow, I'm glad to have had some little part in helping with it.  You did a great job.

Really, really like! I like the red frame and white body work- among other things. Very trad Japanese racing colors.

Excellent!

Sweet lookin's ride, buddy. very well done.

By the way, before you ride too far, it looks likes like you've got a rag stuck on the front of your swing arm.

Any work to the engine, or is it just stock?

i think i pinched the o-ring in the oil line fitting. it's dripping alittle bit. i wouldn't have even noticed if the frame wasn't red.

don't mind you saying it in here at all but you'll want to repeat that in the nomination thread to make it official... can't start doing it outside of the BOTM forum or i won't know where to look, nor will anyone else.   ;)

thanks mrbreeze and Ecosse. i'm honored you think so much of my bike to nominate it. Trixie is running great, not perfect yet but i'm working on it. i've been riding her to work the last couple of days. i had to rejet it last night 140 mains were a little much. so i backed it down to 130. pulls strong all over but i wish the throtle was a little quicker returning to idle when i let off. i think i make have a small air leak in one of the carb boots. but i runs so good i can't stop ridding it long enough to check it.
 ;D cheers

Very cool.. Where did you get the seat pan? I love the grips as well...

Tire specs? They look huge which I like..

the seat pan i made out of fiberglass. i just could't bring myself to pay $200 for one. but it would have been easier. the grips are from partsnmore.com  the tires are dunlop 401 100/90R19 140/90R16
