By fall of 2013 it looked like this. Most of the parts were handmade,

including:
Exhaust
Triples
Bars
Foot controls
Headlight
Fender
Hardtail
Chain adjusters
Seat suspension
Oil cooler mounts
Axles
Tank mounts
Shifter lever
Shift ****
Tank Badges
Turbo mount
Fuel pump mount
Regulator and filter mount
Motor mount
Rotor adapter
Sprocket adapter

Heavily modified:
BSA Tank (split for oil bag)
Frame
Kicker pedal
Split heads
Etc etc

Fully build forged motor running 7.5:1 wisecos, eagle rods, T&O crank, jims rockers etc etc.

Trans fully rebuilt.

99% of work done by me except cylinder rework.

I looked at Pic #2 and thought why after all of that work would you leave the welds on the bars.

Until I saw Pic #4

It all ties together nicely. Really dig the pipes too. Great work.

Shoot, with that type of craftsmanship, you can wear whatever you want, as long as it's not a yellow motoX helm.....nevermind.

Amazing job! this is some seriously skilled work. Not for the faint of the heart ... Tell me again why you don't have your own custom shop yet?
