Sort of, it's a revision of an old build. I picked the bike up complete because it had potential. I basically stripped it down and put it back together my way, modifying this, making that etc. It's a completely different looking bike from when I got it but really is just a different version of the bike when I got it. Here's a before.

Now that I figured how to add pics, here's some more.

Nice work Jack. I like the look the lowered z bars give it better. Nice clean look to it. How's that inverted PM rear brake work when bleeding? I've been thinking of putting one on mine. I've got an inverted harley bannana which works ok when stopping but anytime I've got to bleed it's a pain since you have to remove to get the bleed to the top.

I unbolt the caliper fromt he bracket to bleed and use a vacuum pump to help bleed it. Works good.
