    Quadzilla getting restless.
    I have a polished cover for the rear cylinder head also it is just not on yet.
    BTW I need a plastic cover for the fuse panel. Does anyone have one?

    A sportbike frame would be fun too.
    I would make a double loop cradle frame with 30º rake. 4.5 inches trail.
    Easy to work on and the weight down low. But to make it a winning bike I would remove the oil pan and pump and use an external pump and dry sump tank. That would get the engine 4 inches lower in the frame.
    I would just use the oil pan to make a pattern and bolt a 1/4 inch aluminum plate onto the bottom of the engine.
    I do not know why HONDA could not figure that out.
    The frame would be like the most winning frame ever built... The HD XR750.
