Well I think the tittle says it all. I've been collecting parts, I have most of the major items, I have nothing but time and I have or will have pleanty of questions. Well I almost have nothing but time, I have two customers bikes in the shop, one will finish up and out the door Friday, the other one the owner comes in on Tuesdays and I lay him out and guide him through the build, pat him on the back then redo what he's done lol. And no it's not a joke. I'm not taking on any new work until the bikes built, I'll figure out how to post pics but not much to take pics of yet, so I'll start with some basics stuff. I have a new gen 2 Hayabusa engine, forks, subframe, swingarm and a gen1 frame I have access to bodywork I may choose to modify, or maybe buy new. I'm going to build my tank, air box and exhaust. I still need rims and tires (have a set of brand new CBR1000rr rims and a rear X14 rim) and I have quite a bit of parts around the shop. The first item I need to decide on is to run shocks or hardtail, I see a lot of pics of hardtails on the salt so if any can help with the pros and cons that would be a big help as I'm finding out traction is going to be a main concern. Also can anyone suggest exhaust software that you may have used? Also any hints, tips or tricks I'm heading into uncharted territory. Thanks
