    Old school; the orange frame and body-colored headlight shell scream tradition in a completely unique way.

    Does it only RAIN in Michigan??? I would fit one of those little sexy cafe front fenders painted the same grey. Use it to hide a fork brace if those are the original forks.

    Nice work, and I mean that.

    Very nice Kevin, very! I love lightweight, naked bikes and you've got it down to the bare essentials. Is that the stock speedo pod or from something else?

    Very complete nice work! The 4 into 1 looks really mean with orange and black as contrast. Love the tank too very retro and convincing.

    One question-why didn't you paint the rear shock chambers & highlights to match?

    In its current state , I'll put it up against any 750 with confidence of a solid win in curves or on a strip (including RickCoMatics "razor edge" tuned bikes). Engine rebuild over the winter includes 1059cc Wiseco big bore kit, Keihin CR carbs, Dyna ignition, valve job, cams, porting and sprockets.

    I was being facetious....

    sounds like a real sleeper... how does it do against a modern 600cc bike?

    lulz razor's edge.
