I see you are not going the monster frame route but I noticed this tank while browsing only the other day!

It's always daunting chopping up a perfectly good frame..... But needs must.


Yeah I did see these a while back that's the exact sort of style I'm after, they look ok, but the 2 things that kinda put me off was having to run a external pump, plus I'd ideally like a aluminium tank and have like only half of it painted or something..... Still looking around for a good tank mind

Little update, now down to a bear frame, currently trying to do a deal on a later 749 motor. Don't really wanna start anything drastic till if and when I get it.

also got a pair of 749s Showa shocks... Little disappointed as the lowers have minor pitting so may be going back, I did intend to reanodise the uppers but with the lowers kaput aswell I may aswell go out and buy a pair of ohlins

Love following projects like this. look forward to the next part.

If you do end up going the Ohlins Fork route ones from some R1 models go straight into the SS yokes and probably some from GSXR1000 models, might be worth checking whats available
