Thanks btr, I am actually trying to have it up and running, not necessarily finished by any means and making it to this years Lacey's Energy Fair. I chose the Honda Rebel for a good donorcycle largely due to its abundant production #'s, ease of availability, good handling characteristics and a really low seat height. Then just to find out someone else had a friend that built a few of them already a few years ago. Now I understand he has moved on to Shadows. Anyway, when I was not able to score a Rebel, I settled for the clone from Kawasaki. I too have thought of using the numerous and abundant Ninja as a project. I just might build one of those next. I will be keeping a log of parts, cuts and measurements and making some youtube vids and of course a lot of posts here. I might put together a set of plans and possibly a kit for the rest of you DIY'rs. The area I live in is all 70 and 75mph freeways. I have one pass to the West of me and three of them to the east of me. So sufficient power/mpg will be a big concern. I might just have to get one of those little Turbo kits and install it as well, we'll see how it runs after I get it going before I start on the full body fairing kit. Should be a blast, looking forward to finishing my last side job next week and getting after it! :{)
