Nice!

Will that NT swingarm be able to handle the power of that bored out mill?
I know they built the NT swingarms pretty strong to start with... but to handle a built up 900 motor.

Guess time will tell.

RYD ON!

LOL... I guess we will find out with time :)

I reckon it will, It is more built up around the Bearings/flex point than the Vfr750 arm, so, I am hoping it dosent "snap" out of there some day:teeth
 
I wouldn't worry about the strenght of the NT arm. elf designed and all. I saw a bike that took a serious tumble, I have seen it thrice actually, the swingarm has a tendenvy to rip the frame into 2 pieces at the pivots. Tough stuff methinks.
 
that's a super cool SF! I hope to be able to partake in a project like that one day...when i have more money and more experience at wrenching. Very cool. How much did the whole project cost you? How many hours do you think you dedicated to this project?

I havent a clue on the cost!!! I stopped adding it up a long time ago. It cost more than two new gixxers would anyway. Every single nut, bolt, bearing, etc has been replaced, polished, anodised or coated or bought new for this. Hours and hours of machining, cutting, welding, cutting, rewelding, swearing etc as well.

Over all it was worth it to me!! But not worth it to resell or as an investment.
Because at the end of the day, the title still says it is a 1994 Cbr 600 F2. and that is what it would have to be sold as.

But it is a huge crowd puller, and a total one off. So to me it is priceless... "head swell moment here" :teeth
 
Skills

That's what you have. And money. And time. Three things I don't. But am working on. I never give up!

The ELF swing arms aren't as strong as you think. Just ask my buddy Greg.....on the way to my place in Tahoe....2 in wide path through a huge patch of gravel....I made it, he did not. Thank God he is still alive.
