New guy here..
Just jumped on here, figured Id get into some trouble haha.
The names Joe, Im 28.. From Rochester NY, married, got a little 6 month old baby girl Makayla.. Im a motorcycle tech at a local shop, been there for about a year but Ive been workin on bikes for more then half my age. Im really into buildin custom's from the ground up though as a hobby.
I also run a motorcycle site based out of Rochester but it span's from Buffalo to Syracuse. Its called stuntfactoryx.com, the name throws alot of people off though. We have riders from beginners, to stunters, track day riders, travelers, guys that run supermoto, w/e.. you name it and we have it there.
Picked up an '03 Silverado reg cab, long bed from my best man at the start of summer '08. Its got a couple add-ons, nothin serious.. But I am looking to get a supercharger when I get cought up.
He told me there alot of great info on this forum.. Site looks good guys.

Thanks for the welcome guys..
As for prices on bike ****, I can get w/e anyone wants.. Im hooked up threw work for getting cages, but I made my own on this bike to hold me over till I got my hands on a TIG so I can make a decent one. Although I havent cracked this one yet lol
My bike is pretty much a compilation of a fiew bikes.. I got bored over the past fiew years and started building a fighter the way I wanted it.
'89 FZR 600 frame
'04 YZF600 engine (installed in summer of 07 w/8K miles on it) add about 3K to it
'04 YZF600 switchs, harness, ECU, carbs, exhaust
'04 R6 front and rear suspension, brakes, and wheels.
LSL billet top clamp W/risers
Tag T2 1 1/8" bars with bar adapters
'02 YZF600 gas tank frenched to hold Veypor dash unit
'02 R6 seat, tail plastic & Fiberglass solo cover
'04 SV clear tail light W/integrated signals
Aztec8 dual 4" head lights w/custom 43mm clamps and 8,000K HID's
'04 Kawi 636 Radiator (more than double the size for that motor) w/dual hard wired fans
GPR V4 steering damper w/custom top clam mount and center stem from the tank...
Shark skinz from fender
True carbon fiber rear hugger
1 season on rear Vortex 50T 520 sprocket and Regina Gold 520 chain.
'05 Kawi 636 520 front sprocket (1 season)
Custom work??
---------------------------------------------------------
Crash cage w/5" billet sliders and 1" delrin pucks
Head light fork clamps
Billet Top bar clamp to hold GPR V4
Billet center damper mount from the tank
Frenched gas tank to hold Veypor unit
Fully adjustable billet aluminum rear sets (raw machined finish)
Undertail
SOME (not all) wiring (lighting, fans, etc)
All mounts and brackets to hold the YZF gas tank, R6 seat and tail.
This is just my project.. My best man and I built a VTX1300 prostreet chopper over the course of last winter and got 2nd place in the full custom class at a local show.. The paint was Duplicolor, it had a fake seat (for the time being), and no front brake lol.. Its a one off 5 up 4 out rigid 240 prostreet rigid frame made by Ardcore choppers. It was there first 1300 frame, so they had to make a new jig just for my buddy, and it was to his specs.
We got the frame back from powdercoat 5 day before the show, and I still had to run the wires threw the handle bars, cut the wire harness in half, extend all 47 wires, and loom it from front to back, paint, shim, and mount everything on the bike..
This was our end result.. Oh yeah.. its got a 240 rear tire.
Yes its the same paint, it changes to more of a "rootbeer" color under different light, but the actual color is red
But Ill work on anything really.. Im more of a metric head than Harley though.
