Very cool!! I did the front-end on my bike a couple years ago. (See pic below.) I'm slowly doing the back wheel to match now, with a very good friend of mine that is involved with this company: http://blackartdesigns.com/ is helping me with the rear suspension. I'm keeping the oem swingarm though...

Cool bike NCT, What front end did you use?? Stem swap, custom stem, bearing conversion....what did you use???

I am waiting for my GSXR triple with the swapped Harely stem. The shop is a little backed up and I am lookin at about a week!!!!

 

Hey, he read my mind!!! I mean I read his mind.....ahhh whatever!!

Not exactly, but this is very similar to what I am shooting for.



Well, since I spilled the beans on the look I am going for, I guess I can show one that is even closer to what I am shooting for, just less bling bling.

I have been watching this thread since day one and it is so fcukin cool, I actually open this forum each day hoping to see more progress. Mad props to you for thinking outside the box and doing your thing.

 

Thanx mid, I have been reduced to low speed updates waitin for my triple.

Hey, I do like header wrap.

 

 

This build's looking sick! Maybe when it's finished up we can meet up for a ride... I'm in West Hartford

 

i am in Torrington, always like to ride!!!

Boring update, but got some little stuff done.
some parts came in



Did a little "bombing". I know, I know, should powder coat. I had the wheels on my truck powder coated for a few hundred and it fell apart in two months. I constantly touch em up with the spray can. This time I will do it first for $6.00 and if it falls apart, then I will go the powder route.

True value outdoor patio furniture paint. Stuff is like armour coating. Painted my CB with it, not even gas can dent it!!!!


Short shots before





short shots after, I know the hose clamps look like ****, but I couldnt get those little steel ties tight. Just threw the clamps on for now.




Time to go to work, Later

 

Safty wire looks cool if you wrap like 10 coils tight togather. FWIW.

 

The triple trees are from Accutronix. They used to make these conversion trees for this swap, and still might!?!? The forks are Buell XB9r that I sent to Race-Tech for their springs, valves, and emulators. I'm also swapping over to EFI, changing the engine combination, etc... Here's a pic of the EFI tank, and rear wheel.
