i must admit i did'nt think the customer (he built the pipes) would bring it under the frame tube. when there does seem to be space above it. i guess time will tell:)

Me like it a lot, not exactly as I'd have it if I had the wonga to afford one but a very nice bit of kit all the same:thumbsu: Inspired choice of frame / motor in my oppinion

very nice.

is it going to get paint? IMO it looks too modern (even though very cafe racer) to carry off polished bits, then again it's not my money / bike.
