been choosing rear sets, those i like the best, neither too primitive nor too complex, i looked through hundreds on ebay, from cb400's to busa's
quite symbolic that those r from zxr1000 so i bought the rear brake master cylinder from the big ninja as well

http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/...r/DSCF1322.jpg

I so want to see how this turns out. Keep it coming mate.

Surt ..can only say Fuckin Amazing i just love that fuel tank

what this man said

thanks heaps mates, i like, too, how it's turned out with the old russian Kovrovets tank and old kaza (sounds same with a 'she-goat' in russian lol)'s frame, never done it before, i mean bracing and knee cut-outs in a steel tank. must say that a steel sheet is easier stuff for shaping than ally just because its thinner

undertray/seat/toolbox combo (lol) mounts

http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps948900cf.jpg

decided to cut off the rear section for a few reasons and behold it is very good

http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps9caf6486.jpg

ust mounts welded

http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps09afca65.jpg

http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps6a8216a3.jpg

http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps881d6966.jpg

yup especially given the fact that i bend them with an old electric tube bender, very powerful but with just 2 buttons 'forwad' and 'backward' and huge inertia. so i usually bend them less than i need and then put a long tube on the pipe i bend, and then bent it manually to the needed angle (still on the tube bender)

We hung mine from the footpeg hanger which seems about the same place for yours. Only downside to this is some mad vibration when stuck at highway speed for a while which sends your foot numb. Of course , the anser is to avoid straight roads and highways (well, works for me anyway).

thanks Si! yup i wanted to hook up the sil to the hanger but i'd like it to be a tad pointed upwards and not blocking the brake lever, therefore it'd be moved backwards. could you post a pic of yours, anyway?

Sure mate, here you go:
