It's gonna look great with the ST body work Givr.
You talking like a Honda touring bike? ST1100 or whatever they are? That reminded me a lot of Connies bodywork a bit when I was shopping for my diesel.
Got pictures to show it off Anthony?
Just using the tank and tail right?

Kawasaki KZ1000st (shaft) Similar to the MkII, but the fuel tank is bigger.

Neil and Niall just left so I got inspired to play with a swingarm some Armstrong dropped off Swingarm isnt centred. The rear brake mount interferes and there's no end caps on the swingarm pivot.

Another interesting option. 5.5" wide rim. Apparently it can work with the right sprockets.

Gee Givr, if you're gonna go with the 5.5" rear wheel, you need to match that with a similar front wheel, forks and brakes. Hmmm. Where would one find such a set-up?

More. Interesting low investment evaluation. Picture racing green and centre white paint stripe a la zombie. Perhaps a rickman fairing w endurance racer style side small headlight mounted and paint scheme to match. Hmm?
