Very nice. I think the black frame/swingarm looks tough, especially on the kawis.

I don't like how that vent hose isn't held on by c-clamps or at least a few dozen zip ties. I mean, it could pop off in a crash!!!

Wow, awesome graphics.

It flows nicely with the Cycra stadium plate.

looks good, just curious if you could have anodized the frame? is that cost prohibitive?

Love the look of the forks, I'd want to expose them! Not cover them with that ugly front number plate Smile

Thanks for all the comments, rode her over the weekend and she rides as good as she looks!


If i anodized the frame, the black would have not been consistent due to the different variables in the materials (extruded, billet, cast, etc)

Talon/excel wheels from Dubya are next ...

Nicely done. I really like the blue!

On a side note, how cool would it be to have lime green fork uppers with blue tubes and blue hubs?

I'm not ususally that crazy about black, but yours looks pretty clean. Nice job, nice graphics.

Usually not a big fan of the black frames, but yours looks really good. Great job on the build
