Vaporhoning Technologies closed loop system. Bought an Eaton polar air 7.5hp 80 gallon V4 compressor that flows 31cfm at 100 psi. It's a great combo, but certainly an investment.

This is an understatement to be sure. Laughing

The cabinets I was looking at were $30,000 all by themselves.

I agree, that's why I'm looking at it myself. I'm in a position right now that's frustrating to say the least. I have someone that wants to GIVE me a lathe and a CNC end mill for free. Ive just got now where to put it, nor the future work lined up to justify the lease payment of shop space. And in Orange County California, that aint no joke. Some of these maniacs what $2 per square foot for shop space. The cheapest Ive found is $1.85, but that was for 10k sqft. I only need maybe 2.

Very nice. I expected nothing less!

Looks fantastic!
Did you fabricate that mount for the oil cooler or can it be purchased?

Beautiful job Darren. I really like the finish on the engine as well!

another nice one - quality one off is good, repeat quality is very good, you really have established a sound business
also interested in the oil cooler mount - method - looks like you have the cooler fixed to the chassis, whilst the headlight / clocks moving with the yokes ?

The bike looks fantastic! If you don't mind me asking, what size are those Yoshimura carbs? I think webike has a 38mm set they list as suitable for the 1100.
