900RR front end w/R6 wheel and 285mm rotor, Z900S calipers with a Brembo master cylinder of unknown origin. The seat subframe is a sliced and diced 5th gen subframe with a scratch built support section for the RC51 tail unit. Seat is a Sargent 5th gen seat that was cut down into a solo. Brakes are delinked and I just finished building a rack so I can moto-camp this year.
I should hate that, but I don't hate it. Very interesting!
Yes, my thought also. I'm not a fan at all of custom cut ups, that then get parked on a trailer and dragged to all these "Bike Builder" shows.
I have ALL the time in the world for a bike that has been modified for an end use, that actually get ridden and used.
Also noted is the ELF sticker on the single sided swing arm. It was ELF, the French petroleum concern and Honda that designed that swingarm. Props for that detail and a big 👍 for building with a purpose.
I surely try to ride it! I've done about 17K miles on it since I bought it with 38K on the clock a couple of years ago, probably 5K since I did the solo tail etc.
All the mods are designed to be bolt-on, other than the cut seat - nothing has been changed or molested on the frame. I even bought a junky spare subframe to cut up so I could theoretically go right back to stock with a few hours of tearing down and building up.
Also I appreciate your appreciation of the sticker - glad to see it is landing with the intended audience.
