Man, that thing turned out nice!  I'll bet it looks wicked with all the fairings on it.  We need some video of it in action.

thanks guys! I began making a roll starter for it. have all the parts and pieces for it but did not have time to finish fabricating it. for now, I will have to unbolt the right rear set (2 bolts) and the brake reservoir bracket (1 bolt) so I can just kick it. or have my buddy push start me for a couple sessions LOL

If Kawi ever decided to build a street legal 500cc 2T twin for the street, I'd buy it... Take it apart... Modify it... And then scare myself to death on it :-)
