Beautiful build using a GT750 engine. It appears every bike you have is incredibly well built and thought out.
I love the 750 Kat also....and I think I saw a RS250 MK1 in your garage as well...

Hello Busa,
where the hell did you spot my RS250? There is no picture in this thread showing it, but you are right, I have one, a Loris Reggiani replica.

That looks awesome, so much of that frame looks like nothing I've seen on a bike before! I look forward to seeing more progress!

Since my battery will be fully visible in the open chassis, I put the LiFePo battery into the housing of a normal Lead Acid battery to imitate the classic technology look. You can see the white wires for the balancer coming out of the battery box.
The "FIAMM" Logo is a decal I had made - I think its an Italian brand which fits better to a BIMOTA than a japanese brand like YUASA

Hi Wolfgangh , i will respond to your question on Garrys topic here
yes , i cut the stock flanges off a set of junk stock GT 750 pipes and my Son welded the stock flange sections to down pipe sections i purchased from Jemco ( i emailed Jemco and he was willing to sell me just the headpipe sections for like $45.00 ) i then used a die grinder on the inside to smooth the two sections so they flowed smoothly together . The Jemco down pipe sections are not tapered like what would be best performance but the small space i had to get the pipes behind the front wheel under full compression dictated they hug the front of the engine close .
