 Some shots of the fabrication of a RZ350 Yamaha engine swapped into a 1972 R5 Frame.  The frame was de-raked to match the geometry of the old Yamaha road racers of the 60's and 70's.   All sheet metal is hand formed in house from .060 3003 aluminum and polished, then coated in clear ceramic gun coating.  The swing arm was built here and is 2" longer and from box tubing and much stiffer than original.  Total weight is 250lbs and approximately 60 HP to the wheel.
