Great job you have done there, I have been following your story recently, looking for tips. My conversion is at the welders, hope to pick it up tomorrow, I've got a busy week ahead, wheels are arriving, (Supermoto), tyres, exhaust and suspension gets back from being re-valved and lowered for the tarmac. Hope to post some pics soon.

Looks great!

Can't tell from the angle of the pictures but it looks like the front tire may hit the pipe if the forks go full stroke. Probably just the way the picture looks? If clearance is not an issue then the way you have the pipe routed is superior to Service Honda because you can take the magneto cover off without removing the pipe!

Tire will come close to pipe, but no contact. We checked that while mocking up the pipe before welding. It is close though.
