It took a lot of degreaser to get rid of all the dirt.It looked more like a dirtbike than a roadbike.

a swingarm came from fz750, which made the wheelbase 80 mm shorter:

Nice start mate - tho your right the tail is a little high. If you can make the top of the tail in line with the tank it would be sweet. If you want to see something different check out Sharkys FJ1200...
Speaking of which where is Rus, thought he would be on this thread like a fat kid on cake.

Sorry I didn't catch up with you today at the bike show mate.
I saw a tail in the car park pointing to the sky as I was walking back from the cafe and when I went to check it out, I realised it was your bike !
Looks good mate. Well done.

Hej Surt.I can see what you mean.It is the original frame and tank.
I dont think I'm ready to play around with the frame just yet.

no way, mate, i dont mean mods to the frame, rather to the tank, a steel strap welded between the tank halves would make it look better, or you can try on another tank, i.e. from old zzr, they were really <s>wild</s> wide :)
