It is about 90% done. http://images23.fotki.com/v807/photos/1/178400/2232075/CRW_0151_RJ-vi.jpg http://images24.fotki.com/v802/photos/1/178400/2232075/CRW_0152_RJ-vi.jpg Motor is based on a Kawasaki in-line four cylinder, blown. I took the head from, I believe, Tamiya's GPZ 1100 (I think). The cylinder case was machined as well as the block, blower, pulleys, transmission, engine/transmission mounts, triple-trees, forks and more to come. http://images24.fotki.com/v801/photos/1/178400/2232075/CRW_0133_RJ-vi.jpg http://images24.fotki.com/v799/photos/1/178400/2232075/CRW_0131_RJ-vi.jpg Top, face fairing, rear body panel, and the gas tank fairing were all vacuum-formed. Other body parts were scracth made from styrene. http://images23.fotki.com/v806/photos/1/178400/2232075/CRW_0143_RJ-vi.jpg http://images23.fotki.com/v804/photos/1/178400/2232075/CRW_0144_RJ-vi.jpg http://images24.fotki.com/v800/photos/1/178400/2232075/CRW_0146_RJ-vi.jpg http://images23.fotki.com/v807/photos/1/178400/2232075/CRW_0147_RJ-vi.jpg Rear slick is scratch built from styrene and putty. http://images23.fotki.com/v804/photos/1/178400/2232075/CRW_0148_RJ-vi.jpg Mock-ups. http://images24.fotki.com/v800/photos/1/178400/2232075/CRW_0124_RJ-vi.jpg http://images23.fotki.com/v807/photos/1/178400/2232075/CRW_0130_RJ-vi.jpg I'm hoping to be able to get GTMike to do my front and rear wheels on the CNC. Link to the fastest and quickest motorcycle in the quarter mile: http://www.larrymcbride.com/ I can't get any pictures to post, so that's why I have the link. As a note: Larry has gone as fast a 5.80 seconds and is pushing the 5.7 mark. Top Speed is north of 243mph. That's on two wheels, in the quarter mile.
