I'd love an updated pic with the lowered headlight because that unit is the cat's pajamas.

What is the fork brace you are using. Great bike btw.

That looks really great! Do you have any photos of rear suspension mechanism? I want to make center shock myself and i’d like to se how did you managed to do it

u/Alone_Platform7926 2d ago

It’s actually from a cbr300. swing arm shock the whole bit.

Is the front tyre fitted backwards?

2

u/WhtRbbt222 2d ago

No, you can see the arrow is facing forward

But i cant see if that says rear or front fitment. Also it is the same tread pattern as the rear. Usualy the front and rear tyres would have the tread pattern face opposite directions as they have different requirements for loading in use.

Not feeling the headlight tbh! Besides that clean build

I lowered it down considerably because I completely agree. It looks much better. I’ll get a couple more pictures in a days or 2

What kind of rear sets are those?

1

u/Alone_Platform7926 1d ago

Just a cheap set I found that I liked and then I made all the linkage for them

1

u/SwankyMortitican 1d ago

Do you recall where you got them? I like them a lot and I need a set for my build

1

u/Alone_Platform7926 1d ago

Probably eBay but it was most likely 10 years ago 😂

u/ohheyitsmal 1d ago

Looks excellent!

Genuine question, is that seat as uncomfortable as it looks like it would be? I'm looking to pick up a used Honda CB with a similar seat, but have been gun shy because it looks like it would be murder to ride. Am I overly worried about it?

u/Alone_Platform7926 23h ago

It’s definitely not super comfortable lol
