The engine had been rebuilt at some point. It ran good and had no leaks. So I degreased it, scuffed it, etched it and painted it with engine paint. And then replaced the bolts 1 bolt at a time.
I only built it to challenge myself. I love fabricating and riding. But I have 7 bikes I ride regularly already. I originally built with the thought of my wife riding it, but she really likes her Harley and her Shadow. I hate to see something sit when someone out there can ride and enjoy it. Especially when it turned out soooo nice.
rear shock came off a ducati 900ss. Had to increase spring rate. Eibach spring.
front end is 05 CBR600RR, which was gold color originally, bought new black tubes when i rebuilt the front end.
