I'm actually getting somewhere! I decided to build a completely different tail section, I wanted the tubing to mirror the outside of the seat kind of like the old Champion flattrack frames so I got some 3/4" conduit and threw this one together this afternoon to see if I like it and I am pretty happy with it. It is still a mock-up, the finished one will be aircraft-grade tubing but now I have some dimensions to work with. I cut out some aluminium sheet for the underside and some styrofoam for the side panels and taped them on to help me see what it will look like when it is done. I modified a RC51 SP2 swingarm and put that on also, I think it looks pretty ***** trick so that is a keeper. I have a junk Garrett GT-17 turbo that I am going to use for mock up I might get started on that next. I will need to stretch the tank to fill the gap between it and the seat but I will probably do that when the weather gets warmer. I still have to find rearsets and the rear brake set up. I know this isn't a S3 but I think it fits this section of the forum, what do you guys think?

That is one BAD ASS Bike! Very nice job. What is the swing arm from? Looks like a Buell.

It's from a RC51 SP2, BTW this is what it looked like when I bought it four years ago.......

That is badass. You turned the McDonalds errand boy scooter into a kickass-smoke in your face streetfighter. I love it.
Chuck, will you be my dad?

meanest thing I have seen in a while! I love it. I am moving up to PA in August, maybe you can show me how to make my bike look as bad*ss as yours.

Dude, I just noticed something. In the first picture your "beware of the dog" sign is obscured just right so it looks like "Beware of the-" motorcycle. Cool....
