Is that an RD400 tank on that?  Nice nice! :great:

 

[m in sc]

actually, no, its a bit smaller, its like a 4/5th sized one.
aftermarket steel tank i modded to fit. had to add mounts, modify to use factory yamaha cap (rd200 w embossed tuning fork logo) and add a crossover. finish is da sanded raw steel with 2 part clear.

few other pics from friday, as i left this one at work and grabbed my other rd .

this is what it started as, hand built 4130 monospine frame, foale style. this was jigged off of a stock rd frame, so the geometry, believe it or not, is stock. Yamaha got that right for sure.

current riding weight with fuel is 243 lbs as sits. theres copious amounts of titanium, including the hand wheeled front fender.

It's like going to a topless bar and focusing on the cute flat chested girl. Comfy in the IBT club.  And the Itty Bitty Bike club.

You guys are to much. Really put the grin on my face this morn. Left me thinking though, would love to go in to that strip bar and take home a Suzuki Titan 500 all stripped and ready in a new set of 2020 stripper clothes........

 

[m in sc]

[wayne-o]
