Really nice build! Everything fits together very nicely and the lines work all the way back. Couple of questions if you will: the front rim polished except for black center? What kind of rear shock? Wonderful job on the swing arm btw!!! Were you able to maintain stock tires sizes? Really nice job!

Alan....
Looks fabulous.... really nice job. I eagerly await the feedback after you have it out on the road for awhile.... love to know how it handles with the changes in the geometery with the 929 forks and increase wheelbase. Either way, it's still one of the hottest VTRs I've seen so far, really nice.
I noticed your looking to go to a earlier 8 spoke wheel.... aren't they 5" width instead of the 5.5" you have now?

Azzkiker hav,nt really had chance to ride it yet its polished and parked up for winter now.
Greg my conversion is all down to you really, confused well i first visited your other site a few years ago thats where i first set eyes on Brian Lights conversion and the seed was planted.I was mailing you a few years back and sent you some pics of my bike when i first got it then it was totally standard.
Cheers everyone for your feedback i will no doubt let you all know what it handles like!!!

Hi yes i built it myself the only thing i didnt do was the exhaust fab work but my idea to run the pipework how it looks.My welder had a bitch of a job with the rear cylinder as theres not much room for the pipe to drop through the swingarm especially using an ohlins shock they are slighter bulkier than standard shock.Welder only charged me 170 GBP what a star!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
