Thats a bit trick. Wouldn't it have been simpler to buy a bigger engined bike. Nice little engineering project though.
Current bikes:
TriBsa CCM 350 Twin
Honda CB350F in Candy Bacchus Olive
Honda CB750F2 in Candy Apple Red
Yamaha MT07 (2026) in Black
Triumph T100C
Suzuki GS1000HC
Honda CB450K0 Black Bomber
Honda CB750K5 in Planet Blue Metallic

Looks neat. Wonder how warm the left leg would get when riding - exhaust looks a bit close to the footrest.
Monoshock rear end is a bit different too.
This has been done before - came across this one: http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=72590.0.

It was at the Donnington Classic Bike Festival yesterday, I didn't go but the guy who took the photo said there was nobody around to ask about it.
