The bike started life as a Monster.
The frame was modified to share geometry with a 888 and narrowed at the steering head to accommodate the vintage looking handmade tank.
It has a 944 kit and flatslides with short manifolds.
Front forks are GSXR 1000 with Carrozzeria wheels.
It weighs 314 lbs. ;)

Great job by both of you. Was he concerned about the weight of the paint? :)
I've never tackled any kind of multi-color job like that and wouldn't know how. What's the tank made from?
Very nice Nate [thumbsup] [thumbsup] [thumbsup]

The tank is mild steel...and not particularly light...about the same as a stock monster tank.
Sweeeeeet.....

I love the project! What a nice bike. Ive been itching to start a new project. I need to build a shop first.
2 boobies and a hole, she already has the heart beating. :-*
Man, that is make the beast with two backsing _beautiful!_
I love the juxtaposition of the dustbin fairing and studded leather saddle, with radial mount brakes on inverted dlc forks!
The attention to detail in parts like the lhs exhaust hanger is exquisite!
What's the finish on the frame? Nickel coated?

I built a shop a few years ago. By a factor of 11ty billion it's the best thing I ever did. Only comment is that you can't ever build one big enough. The house was paid off and we took out another loan on it to build it, and it meant mortgage payments again but still been worth it.
Im going small scale, 16x20 or so. Just enough room for me and some help. One bench, one stand and no storage. I have bought mot of the material so far. Permit will be pulled as soon as I have the cash to start.

It's a work of art! Well done Nate and Walt! [thumbsup]

Good looking bike, I like the use of the GSXR forks. What year and model they are from, I have 05/06 GSXR 1000 forks on my monster and they have red anodized adjusters and looks to be a different size axle.

I think '07 but I'm not really sure.
I do know that one of the trees had to be bored to use them. It was not a bolt on swap.

Yep.
I think they're all extremely cool. [thumbsup]
My favorite is the shovel, but that is strictly from a paint perspective.
It was a ton of fun to do that flake job.
