staying with the stock tail section? Did it come with the plastics? Did not see it last time I was over? I was wondering if you had a idea for that.

I see that sexy beast in the background of the first picture...

I bet your woman cant wait for that to be done...

awesome! i started in on the same project, was building it for the wife, then she decided she didnt want to be a rider, jsut wanted to be a passenger.

i did the f2 front end as well you have to get the wheel machined down some, and change out bearings and what not... but it would be worth it to get a wider wheel / tire combo under it.

looking good so far though

and you can get a f2 rear wheel on there too!

Beautiful bike man. I'm mostly posting to subscribe to the thread. I want to see this go together. (about 90% there already.)
