Wow, that's a nice job. The swing arm and forks are very cool. Any details? Bodywork reminds me of 70's Tracy bodies.

Remind's me a little of Vetter's Hurricane...with some very modern details. Nice work and a lovely color choice. Any details you care to share?

A very cool thrux - but I can't say I like the seat cover, thought it's a trivial detail, and that headlight is HUGE. Love the exhaust and tank style.

I like the pipes, wheels etc, I don't really like how the oil cooler had to be moved. I don't care for the seat of the headlight, but other than that it is very cool!

what benefit does a single rear shock have?

Is that a Carbon Fiber valve cover and engine side covers?! Wow! We need some details, like the fork and the rear swing arm. Nice job, that must have taken a while.

Is that a Mecatwin seat unit for the Traker? 1050 Speed Triple front end?
I like the single rear shock very similar to the Retro Ducati's
Excellent work, very good mate.
Post a few more details.

I thought the tank and seat looked like something I'd seen before from mecatwin.

+1 to Sweat's comments about using the oil cooler as a stone guard. Doesn't look like a good place to mount it right in front of the pebble collector.

How does your rear suspension work with 1" of stroke in the shock?
