Not ugly but still mean.



vtwin... "trellis" frame... linear mounted rear shock.... radial caliper on one side, conventional caliper on the other (looks like they swapped forks (and exhaust) between pics).... What bike is that? MZ1000 maybe?

It's a TLS.

The forks are different in the different pics. If you look closely you can see the can was changed too.

The bike was / is in a constant state of evolution.

There is a whole thread on his build here: http://www.customfighters.com/forums...ead.php?t=3881

Edit: apparently you noticed the exhaust.

how did I not know that? It's painfully obvious now that you tell me. I forgot what the TLS frame looked like & the direct mounted shock (or whatever you wanna call it) threw me off, I was thinking the TLS got the rotary like the TLR (did it?), but even if it did it coulda been switched out for a standard.


EDIT: PS, I like my "factory fighter", even IF some don't consider it a true fighter
