Pretty sure it's a Ness bike...first saw it around 10 years ago in bare metal....

There is NO filler on it of any kind.   Mainly just to showcase their extraordinary metal working skills.

While impressive as hell in person....there is something about it that just doesn't work.  It was more interesting before it was painted.
Yep, I'm the kid that figured out how to put things back together...eventually.

Well, you and I both know how to deal with Japanese "Corporate-Think."  Don't we, Rob?

Just build your own!   ;D  RR

Hey RR,

Just let's keep on doing that. To be honest I feel there are more interesting bikes build at home than what is coming out of the factories these days. they all just seem to look like one another.


Really hope to see you at Spa.

Rob

PS. Have found a fairing supposted to be Read-Titan.

Hi, Rob. Read-Titan fairing? Full? One-piece or two-piece? I've been kinda, sorta looking for an original two-piece to reproduce; my one-piece design is a royal PITA to remove for normal maintenance. Because of that, I'm working on an improved Read-Titan CB750 fairing mount; the original design must have been developed by a blacksmith!   ::)

BTW, I'm gonna put a couple original Read-Titan half fairings up on evilBay this week. Gotta help pay for the SPA trip!

Also, I'm going to PM you. If you can possibly help, I need your assistance on getting/purchasing some special parts at SPA. Thanks!

Same here. Most of the people in eastern Washington complain that the state spends all the road maintenance money in Seattle but if you ride a bike around here you'd know that isn't true. There is 12 horribly filled pot holes in one block just around the corner from here. Makes me mad every time I come home because I can't dive the last corner of my ride. :P
