Nice work Daffey! Like LC said, looks like it will be a light weight for sure!

The colors I'm thinking about are a blue frame, as close to an anodised blue as I can get, the body will be Kawasaki green, of course, but with a faint gold metlatic in it, topped off with a white stripe down the center.

I wanna see her do the Lance Kawtippin method of bike launch up those stairs. To Lou's and RB's point, some boots might be a good call.

To clarify: The use of protective footwear should coincide with the presence of a functioning drivetrain and the intention to actually move the vehicle, maybe even under it's own power! Like up the stairs in 0.5 seconds. All kidding aside, her foot could slip 2 feet backwards and get impaled by the bare rear sprocket. Pfft, Kids these days, they just don't think....

I know I know, I got the same reponse when she was showing the pic to my friends about the no shoes. I was working on the bike when my daughter came down stairs and said she wanted to get a pic of her on the bike for her phone. I asked where her shoes where and got the usual "ehh" reply. Since it has been a while since I sent an update pic of my project, ( not hers, even though she has other toughts about that) I thought I would add them to my thread. Thanks for the coments

I forgot to say, yes IC incase you were woundering, I added 2 more braces to the the rear shock upper mount fore and aft to make it a stronger mount, like an upside down stool now. Good call, the more I thought about it the more sence it made. Dah Thanks again, any input any one has is alwasy apreciated

Well I finally dropped my cases into my frame And they fit almost perfect, just a little push to seat the rubber mounts into the cases and the mounting holes aligned up perfectly with Walm's mounts ;D Thanks Andrew. The only sticking point was the right rear corner of the lower case, it touches the Honda NSR400 swing arm. But this was a simple fix And now, lots of clearance ;D And now on with the sprocket alignment ;D
