Brake line retainer stolen from my XX arm and trimmed, I just had to sneak a Honda part into the build :P...

4 cans of brake cleaner, 1 can WD40, half a dozen rags, 2 toothbrushes, a Scotch Brite pad, 6 hours labor and my last few squirts of S100 to detail this motor....

See if this helps......

Exhaust finished. Tidied up the mount tab, welded the can to the mid pipe, cleaned up the mid pipe and ran over the previous welds with the tig torch to dress them up....

The clutch lever pivot hole size didn't match the lever perch, so I turned up a brass bushing to take up the slack...

Rear tank mount done...

Looks good, transfer to aluminum...

I've always wanted to build a slingshot... now I get to build 2!!...

I upgraded the rear line to a color-matched CoreMoto line....

I wasn't happy with the look of the heel guards that came with the rearsets, so I made new ones from a sheet of carbon I laid up using 2 plys of fiberglass mat sandwiched between 4 plys of carbon....

After fitting the subframe, the next step to having a clean finish was to transition the bodywork from the tail to the tank, and then fit the seat to the tank....

I liked how the Honda dirt bike rear masters had integrated reservoirs, and I also didn't like the cost of billet parts... so I bought a CRF rear master, and reamed it out to fit the larger VFR brake ...

Raw cover and primered tank:...

Another fork in the road... frame in hand, about to install on the freshly painted motor... leave it stock, or do something different with it? Hmm... Something different it is!!...

This is what started it all... a spare motor obtained in October of 2009......

This project started with my stock Honda CB750F with CB1100RC bodywork and wheels added. The paint was silver, candy blue and candy red. I really wanted an RC but could not afford one so this was my f...

Once the plan was hatched I started looking for a donor bike and found a 2014 300 Ninja with ABS in short order....

Here we go. Never torn a bike this much apart before and modded so much stuff. Bike has been in pieces for a few weeks now and I have been waiting for Nov 1st. Had to "borrow" a neighbors newspaper. A...
