Yeah, I know it was a gift and all, but RB could probably relinquish an H2 or 2 for the titanium shift forks you gave him. ;D I mean, what's a triple worth if you can't shift? Everyones gonna need 'em sooner or later. Right on Andrew, we don't like past tenses here!

It might make the WarPig look pretty, but pretty is over rated! That'd be fun!! ;D

This actually has been the simplest project so far! I shouldn't have opened my big mouth yet (so much can yet go wrong!) but I'm cautiously optimistic that this will be a neat bike for little investment! ;D Only time will tell! ;D

Well, we're making some progress. We got the rear shock mounted and working. Ryan made up 2 aluminum angle brackets to connect the rear engine mounts to the upper shock mount. A couple of spacers and there ya go! The bottom link had to be shortened and welded to make it work and fit, but that's about it! I now need to find a couple of longer bolts, 2 bushings and that's about it! ;D I've got spools for a race stand now too! ;D WTF's next on the list!

You're making it look easy -- will there be any issues with getting a chain?
Looks really good, and it should handle great.

No cutting or welding is needed at this point! The battery and oil tank stay where they are! Amazing! I think we should buy up all the FZR's we can find!! ;D ;D The chain is the same size and we'll only need to shim the countershaft sprocket 1/8" or less to line up. Cool! I really don't know about the handling! We've shortened the wheelbase by 2 1/2"!! More weight to the rear! Also we have a 16" front wheel now!! It could be a 'handfull' to ride! I'd better learn how to handle a wheelie real quick! ;D ;D

Nice work Drew! You're cruising right along. and she looks friggen sweet If you don't like the handling of the 17" front wheel, I have an 18" RZ500 wheel that could be modified to look like that rim. I bet it would have the same brakes too. Is your motor rigid or rubber mount? I'm wondering with a rubber mount, the link would pivot a bit...
