Same rear brake cover. Good eye, I do think it might be the same guy.

Yea I saw that also. I saw a thread some place that showed step by step how to do that. Might have been the guy that did it that pasted it. If I can remember where I saw it I will post a link. Both are VERY nice bikes!

Any info on the silver 400?

That red cb750 does look like it's got some Benji stuff on it. It also looks like he lowered the front fender to hug the tire closer without losing the stock look. I like that kind of stuff.

Cant see your pics BEAN.
I like this one. its on ebay. But with all the effort of putting on modern suspension you'd think they could put a little more time into the seat and exhaust. This bike would look great with a nice seat and some clean pipes. That wrapping on pipes makes me think of a mummies bandages.

I like the ingenuity and the looks but I wonder if the bike is heavier now. All that work only to have a stock engine seems kind of unbalanced to me. That engine should have built for racing to match the time/money spent on the suspension IMO.

Yea that's a really good point. If the engine is stock, there is probably a bit more weight on it now and its not like it was a 550 or 750 or something to begin with. hum....I still would like to see it in action.

Aluminum triple clamps, aluminum swingarm, aluminum wheels, no rear frame carriage, no airfilter side cover combos, no stock exhaust, no center stand, no heavy seat.

I'd be willing to bet that bike weighs less than stock.

I've seen this bike in person. Those pics don't even begin to reveal attention to detail and hand made parts that went into it. The brings it to the monthly bikefiremoto event sometimes.

You can just tell by looking at it no detail was too small to over look. Sure hope I get to see it in person some day.
