It's really not much to look at, but it seems to be working.

wow, not much to it at all.

I noticed it looks like there are two exhaust openings. on under the bell pan just in front of the rear tire, and the second one is under the tail. I wonder if the bottom is for the front cylinders, and the top is for the rear cylinders.

or maybe i'm just wrong alltogether and seeing something different.

it looks disturbingly like some thing i could build in the carbon fiber shop at work during lunch break...ok, a couple of lunch breaks and maybe a saturday.

Fire one out. I'm giving a 750 motor to crashing tomato. I'm sure he'd put the CF frame to good use.

just cause i could build something that looks like that doesn't mean it will be structurally sound. though i could probably get it to work...how strong does a frame need to be anyway?

on a more important note.... who wants to test ride a GS 500 with a carbon fiber frame built in my basement?

no offense aaron, but I'll pass - it would probably handle like an EX.. ehhe
