    Great work Waltari... I know it has been a long trip..
    The thing that strikes me is all the empty space
    around the swing arm pivot.. I looks like the parts are hanging in air...

    Graphics are fantastic too.. very understated yet striking!
    Thanks for the props...hopefully someone might remember me when next months nominatikons come around

    I think part of the empty space feeling comes from the current lack of a midpipe. I'm picking up some 2-1/4" stainless tube tomorrow to finish it up. I'm glad the graphics turned out well...I went back and forth on what to put where, size, color, etc and subtle seemd to fit better. It's a good feeling to finally have it done!

        Awesome Dude!
        FrankenKat rocks!
        Almost wants me to go from post98 to pre98!

        Just remember to post those pics after you've mounted that midpiece!

            FRANKENKAT ROCKS!! Is a major understatement, this bike is a symbol of what one person with talent can do to make his bike his own. Waltari, you didn't put your signature on your bike, you autographed it. I have always liked seeing what was next for frankenkat and now seeing it like this really kicks arse!!!!!

                  he has some stuff in body shop or rolling stock I think. by the way I just heard it is like 112- 114 degrees out there right now. I don't miss that at all.

                    I'll try and sit down and do a complete writeup that covers everything once I have the midpipe back.

                    As for the 112-114 degrees...I wish it was that cool at work! Yesterday in the Art foundry, we were melting bronze to do a pour and it was ssooooooo hot we popped off a sprinkler head!!! I just about sh$t my pants as water and 2200 degree bronze don't really mix that well (violent reactions that would shoot the molten bronze everywhere.

                    Managed to get the system shut down and get everything mopped up enough to be able to pour since we were like 15 minutes away from our pour time when it happened. When the sprinkler tech came out to replace the head, him informed me it had to have been 170-190 degree in the top part of our building for that head to pop...talk about hot!!

                              Stunning!

                              Amazing! I love it! Excellent work! I also would love to see a writeup of how you did your mods, what you used, etc.

                              Throw some frame sliders on that baby to protect those custom fairings!
