Thought I would re-post some pic's of the head, following it being given a thorough clean, flowed and profiled.

Should help keep the gases flowing

Be useful for changing rear shock though. S'funny but I reckon exup is at least 20kgs heavier.

Aha, custom tank, sorted.

Ok all looks very sweet so far, lovin' the Ohlins.

The one thing that doesn't really sit well with me tho, and this is just my humble opinion of course, 'cause let's face it what the hell do i know about bikes, but straight bars? Wouldn't it be cooler to to have clip-ons and get yourself right down over this puppy?

Had to go straight bar route for a couple of reasons.

1. My wife is going to be riding it as well and the position of the air intake would cause one or two problems left to the imagination

2. She's (being the bike that is) going to be used for drag and road use and will be more controllable with straight ish bars especially when you hit the NOS button.

Have a look from this prospective and you'll see what I mean.

As you can see the air filter sits quit along way above the head stock.

The bar is just a piece of steel tube were using to wheel it around the work shop with.

Allthough it would be nice to try her with clip ons

Scar_biker, can I just say you are without doubt a complete and utter loon. Certifiable. 100% cast-iron dyed-in-the-wool Dagenham (several stops past Barking) and I am proud to make your acquaintance. I can't wait to see that bike finished.

There's a very fine line between genius and insanity and I think Scar's bike straddles it. I'm impressed with the standard of the engineering, the commitment and the resources that have gone into it, whilst at the same time giggling helplessly at the thought of a supercharger and NOS...

That giggling will be down to too much NoS sniffing !!!

Actually if you look closely you'll find he is straddling the bike
