Who is doing your powder coat?
Perhaps I have a dirt bike addiction?

Don't know yet.
There are a few people over in town that do it.
I'll start with the one closest to me and go from there :-)
The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.

Thanks. I'll probably go with the kiwi green as well. I need to find myself a good powder coater in  S.E. MI but first I need to get a new triple clamp frame stop welded in place for the Ride Engineering 22mm triple clamps though.

TSR just sent me a custom mount to fit the Panthera E start to their billet KX500 Engine cases... Since words can't describe TSR's work enjoy the pics... And ignore the finger prints all over the parts... I couldn't help myself...











Thank you T! S! R!!!

That’s just beautiful!  It’s as much art as it is engineering.

How is MXA helping again?  It looks like you're doing all the work.   :-D

Lol... MXA is getting a whole bunch of parts for me  8-)
Wheels, tank, throttle, cable, oversized brake kits, top clamp, steering stab, plastics, chain, sprockets, and hopefully a host of other parts. We'll see  :-o

And let's not forget Oscar Cota who helped me put together the want list :-)
He also scored me a custom seat from Guts Racing and a set of Flex Bars and pegs...

Then there is David Olson who put up with my unending questions when I first started on this site  :-P

Then, there is this site that inspired me to try something like this in the first place...

One thing leads to another...  :-o

Ok, I just heard from Zak at Moto Tassinari and they hooked me up with a VF2 reed valve for this build  
So now I need to figure out which of these Logo's to use, how big to make it, and where to put it on the bike...

I like this one.  Small and on the side somewhere?

TM Designworks greatly helped out by providing the slider, guide, guard, and caliper mount..
Wow!
These look great!
I can't wait to get them mounted up but I have a little time left before I'm going to be ready...
BUt getting closer every day  :lol:

THANK YOU TM Designworks...
I will be doing a complete review of their product as this build is done as well as after all the test rides are done...
