Every rider has their own interpretation. I never would've thought about "murdering out" the shock, or capping off the rear loop stubs. Keep up the build! Cheers

been super busy with work but found sometime to do a few small stuff for the project

Remove the stem from the ZXR triple tree and  machine to fit the new smaller bearings

I press  the steam with new bearing in to the tree last night and all is  good.

also disassemble the calipers for a good clean and mask for grit blast prep for powder coating

It almost looks like he used side panels from a K bike to build it.
