The bike started life as a Monster.Dolph :) 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. ;) Title: Re: dp's latest Post by: Grampa on August 02, 2009, 04:44:39 PM It weighs 314 lbs. ;) thats like 3 Olsen twins... if'n there were 3 Title: Re: dp's latest Post by: Howie on August 02, 2009, 06:40:49 PM WOW!

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?

[laugh]I've never tackled any kind of multi-color job like that and wouldn't know how. What's the tank made from? The tank is mild steel...and not particularly light...about the same as a stock monster tank. Title: Re: dp's latest Post by: Speedbag on August 03, 2009, 02:25:18 AM Sweeeeeet.....

Title: Re: dp's latest Post by: fastwin on August 03, 2009, 05:19:26 AM Really pretty bike! Well done! He must have like a 25" inseam, those pegs look really close to the seat. Maybe it's just my old age, my knees don't bend so well these days. ;D Still, awesome scooter. [thumbsup]

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? big Title: Re: dp's latest Post by: kopfjäger on August 06, 2009, 06:41:24 PM juxtaposition :D

What a nice bike. Ive been itching to start a new project. I need to build a shop first. 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. Title: Re: dp's latest Post by: ducrider45 on August 07, 2009, 05:07:13 AM 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] Title: Re: dp's latest Post by: crankmonster on August 07, 2009, 11:51:49 AM The bike started life as a Monster.

Front forks are GSXR 1000 with Carrozzeria wheels. It weighs 314 lbs. ;) 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.
