I have been designing power boats for a few years.That is where I obtained the knowledge to design fiberglass parts.This bike has 10 individual fiberglass parts.
Started as a 99 SE.I wanted to create a bike that was a little more "in the wind".
I made everything myself including the aluminum parts.
Because it has a lower center of gravity in handles very well.
I have put a glovebox in it like my first wing 1976.
I moved to key switch near the glovebox as it would not fit my design where it normally is.86 wing front fender,Ninja LED Tailight,which is integrated with the 4 bullit lights on the saddlebags.
The seat is a Diamond "Big boy" which I shaved down to my design.

At first I thought 'he turned it into a scooter!', then I saw the front!

Thanks Two Wheels
I have owned a few fully decked wings and found them to feel a little top heavy when cornering.My bike has a lower center of gravity so it has a very nice feel in the corners.I really like the "in the wind " feel a lot.It just feels more loke a motorcycle should.

Nicely done Mr Green! Sorry I never checked this out earlier. Very unique concept and execution. "Totemo ii desu! Anatawa meijin desu, neh?"
translation: very good, you are a master!

Thanks budoka
It was a lot of work.About 14 months because I had to design and build the molds.I figure the next one should only take me about 2-3 months to build.

I could not agree with you more.I am now doing the research of making a custom wing especially after I saw my first Valkyrie Rune.I really like your bike.I am now just figuring which year and model that I can change without too much problems.
