Cool My 98' VTR 1000 "Rat Bike"

A few months ago i got bored with my GSXR750 project so i decided to find something new to work on. I searched Craigslist for a while and came across this jewel. A 1998 Honda VTR 1000 for $400, It needed a lot of work though. The whole front-end needed to be redone. Since i have had it i have done a lot of work to it, I will be posting more on this bike due to the fact i am still adding and working on the bike. Let me know what you think. Here are some pictures of the build, from when i got it to what it is looking like now.

So you got it rideable again? Hard to tell by the photos.

maybe it's just the pic, but that last one makes the front end look a little bent... seems the tire is awfully close to the fork leg...

yes, i messed up the spacers on it. I have fix the spacers and the bent lower fork since this picture.

the bike is completely working now and is a blast i need a few here and there parts for it but other than that it has been an amazing bike so far.
