Nice. I prowled his site a while but didn't come across that one.

I knew it was an RZ/RDLC chassis.


Check this out....it's an XS650-going big bore (custom cylinder block) to 750, big cam....big carbs. The frame got cut down to minimal-kinda bobber/street tracker style.......I'll post up pics of the complete bike soon.

This thing is gonna be 100pounds lighter than a stock XS 650 (at least) , have 25 more hp, and look about like this('cept NOT a hardtail):

Honestly, a nice little engine package for it's time...look how compact it is front to back....
