No chaffing but I got rid of the weld seem and made the frame flat. if you do not do that it will rub a hole for sure. the bike rides awsome, it is a cool feeling to have this skinny little bike between your legs that barks with 500 power. My bike is a little scary to jump it will loop out very easy if you leave the lip on the gas.

Johnny looks like its coming along keep up the good work 
mine is 2000 frame and 97 500 engine i used the 97 500 forks/swingarm/wheels. it handles good compared to the stock frame 
also hope your not going to mount your pipe solid if so not a good idea

well good luck

You know If I was to do it again I think what I would do is notch the frame out and weld in a quarter piece of tubeing to make plenty of room and retain the strength of the frame.
I never thought about doing that! I think I will try it, I was going to just grind the welds down and weld it flush.

mounted the rads and cut the hoses to size just to get an idea of how everything is gona fit. the 2 90 degree bend hoses were suplied by a u.k manufacturer and the 180 degree was from ebay all told the hose cost ?30 delivered.

powerfiend, are you it the u.k. ? i got most of them from dph, web site
http://www.derbyperformancehose.co.uk/dph-sport-silicone-hose.html
the guy is tops and will really help you out,  however he has limit on what he can manufature i.e the 180 bend, you will have to get that from ebay
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270617101927&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
there is loads on there like this. it not as good quality as the dph stuff but i had no choice and its cheap. if you ask dph they will leave the dph print of the side so that it will match the chinese ebay stuff
hope that helps you
