Here ya go... This is riding to the track position. They'll get readjusted just before the starting gun.

The bars match the wings on the tank like this. And, it actually rides much more comfortably this way. Imagine that!!!

For comparison...

For those of you keeping score at home, this is the second build-off appearance of the racing stand.

No self respecting racing bike would ever be caught dead with a kick stand!

Very rat-isfying indeed! Love the tank work, funky bars, and that saddle....oh, that saddle!

Nicely done my friend!

 

[motorbikermark]

Once again a great build! Great patina as always.

 

[Chad T]

Was fun watching you whip this together with no time left. Great job.
