Jon, Is an authentic Manx body going on that frame? If so I was wondering how the Kafer Cup brace fits. Looks like a top notch project shaping up.

It sure is a Barrien Chassis, link pin front end and a swing axle in the rear. Front torsion bar is a Jamar setup with CB Performance 5 wide disc brakes on a 2 1/2 " dropped spindle. Removed two of the five torsion bars both top and bottom to soften the ride The frame has two clamps left and two right that bolt around the torsion tubes. The Fuel injection system is from "Simple Digital System / EM-4" link
http://sdsefi.com/ Almost finished painting the frame POR 15 / PURPLE NEXT TO TACKLE THE 35 YEAR + FIBERGLAS SHELL there's a ton of info at my home page:

My brother couldn't believe how heavy the CB perf. rotors were so he took them to work and massaged them. He managed to remove 2 1/2 lbs. from each rotor. I think they look a little nicer too.
What did you use to paint your calipers?
