I don't know if anyone has mentioned this project or if the builder is on this forum, I came across a thread on a Yamaha MT Owner Club forum and was blown away by the work that is going into it. Check it out....... much respect to the builder! Again, nothing to do with me - i just found it interesting and thought some of you would too.

That looks very involved. Nice bit of advertising for his business as well. Don't think I would of gone with the billet seat so it would be interesting to see it when it's done.

i was thinking all that work and spoilt it by turning it into a cruiser,
the beauty of the mt01 is that despite that hulking push rod lump, they actually handle quite well,
thats now out the window

This. The main flaw with an MT-01 as opposed to a Buell is the massive dry weight. This is not helping the situation, and is in fact making the bike a slower steering heavier blacmange made of hard to keep looking new aluminium.

Good machining skills, but epic epic project fail.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.
