Note the exhaust pipe and engine mount tie rods, I had to design it too have enough clearance between them so stuff doesn't go clang ;)

Looks tall, but placement is spot on :ndance:

teaser update.. no pics lol

received bare frame back from painters today, as well as painted secondary components.

almost everything is ready to button together, still need to source gas tank placement and seat but those are minor issues :ndance:

wiring harness is at about 40%complete..

first night of scooter gatherings tonight, so completion goal date has been moved back to tomorrow, and then weather pending sunday for unveiling, final touchups etc

Stay tuned folks :2thumbs:

I like the clean lines. Interesting that you mounted the foot pegs on the motor mount. The fork angle looks plenty steep. Perhaps with the frame brace you may prevent wobbling at speed. That is one thing I don't like about my Elite E, Although it doesn't wobble, you can feel the bars dancing around particularly in the fore and aft direction when the speed gets up there.
