Thanks! It doesn't look so wicked at the moment though... both forks were leaking so it's all ripped apart on my lift-bench for new seals. Makes me cry to see it like like that so let's all enjoy another "together" picture. :D

I just found out this morning that a friend of mind made this. It's a Ghost in the Shell Honda.

The Trumpet is a Rickman Metisse. The XKSS Jag was derived from their racing D-Types that used up leftover parts after Jag withdrew from racing following the Lemans disaster. Only a few were made then the factory burnt down.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1525964465.jpg

I like the design, however...

No brakes or suspension?
No expansion pipe? (it looks like a 2T)
Exhaust under the seat?

Maybe just something created by an art student :D

I see brake levers, and I think they call it a hard-tail-springer in HD circles...

I see no Springer.... Just hard and hard tail. :D

Truth! I remember riding my 998 thru downtown San Diego traffic on a hot summer day. I thought for sure my ass was literally on fire.
