    It is not just the bolts snapping that's bad but if the head has to be removed for a machine shop to remove them that's worse. I got the welder too.

    Did you modify the exhaust before the silencer on the green one?

    Looks good. I might convert my bike to Led one day. I was reading more about the red framed bike I did not know you could the pressure switches for the brake lights. I like the air box alteration too, how does it run with the Honda oil filter in there? Good use of the space below the seat too. Did you do the welding for the monoshock mounts and the chain guard? Looks awesome.

    it seemed to run just fine, i only did around 200 miles on it,
    my brother did the welding on the frame , as the chainguard is aluminium i had to take it to a local fabricator to weld up, i did the grinding and polishing after

    I think you will win prizes if you put your bike into shows. Great build.
