Yeah - that guy posted on the old (old!) board - handle was Macadamia Nut. That was an automotive design project for a class. Last I heard, he was trying to produce them commercially. I have not heard anything from him in over a year. I'll try to find that post and his web site when I get to work.

He did but wanted $10K or so IIRC.

It's got all new gsxr goodies - suspension, swingarm, wheels brakes..... just a B4 motor, frame, tank and maybe some electricals. I actually think I have a peg bracket off of that ^^^ bike.

He sold-off a bunch of the orig parts.

yeah why did they have to make the head light look like a duck
its all cosmetics and weight reductions that we can do at home

nothing I would pay for. I would give my money to a school/student doing research into a light weight alternative fuel tank with proper carbs though. Paying for kids to study up on how to be crew members for pimp my ride/bike is kinda shallow. Cosmetics and suspension are too easy and better to be fine tuned to the individual.

the b4 is a track bike not a bling-bike!
b4s are have thier best personalities/atributes as
dirty, scratched/digned up, and theft repellant naked bikes
ready to pull up infront of anything that challenges it

He did a great job....but on the wrong bike....IMHO

Fairing doesn't look functional for cooling much more than a 400...

Interesting idea though. Be neat to see custom plastics for bandits for a reasonable price...
