The frame is made of 6061-T6 tubing and CNC machined billet 6061.
The lower spars are 5 inch, the uppers 4 inch, and the frame head is 6 inch.
Gasoline is held in the frame, with a capacity of approximately 6 1/2 US gallons.
The swingarm is 3 and 2 inch tubing and CNC subcomponents.
Ohlins forks, Penske shock, Brembo brake calipers and rear mastercylinder, ISR front mastercylinder, Magura/PFM clutch mastercylinder.
Stainless brake and clutch lines from Galfer.
Fuel injected one liter dual overhead cam 4 valve per cylinder liquid cooled V-twin engine with a 6 speed transmission.
The 4 inch diameter tank with hemispherical ends on the left side of the bike is the oil tank as it is a dry sump motor.
First pass Dyno tune yielded 108 hp, 68 ft-lbs of torque. Wheels and tires: Front 8 1/2 inch with a 250 tire, Rear 10 1/2 inch with a 300 tire; wheels made from 6061-T6.

Get some realistic sized tires on there and I'd ride it. As it it's only good for bar hopping.

Headlights mounted in the air intake! I kindof like the helicopter or airplane style controls. I think I saw that type of thing on American Chopper. I want to see a close up side shot. Its an awesome bike, but it looks scary to me!

Looks like a kitchen appliance...or something out of a cartoon.  Not to mention it "looks" like it weighs 900lbs.  Think i'll have to pass on that one.

although i wouldn't ride this if you gave me money, there are several things that appeal to me.

fill that frame with fuel and some more air can get to the engine.
put on a decent dual headlight and make current scoop a ram-air duct but a bit smaller, more stylish.
lift the tail, single sided swingarm, the front buell brake rotor, decent handlebars...yep, i would know what to do with it

Fuel is in the frame, 6.5 gallons. I too would definitely get the headlights out of the ram air. Longer kicked up tail would give it more balance. Funny, A completely custom one of a kind and we are all already talking about we would change it up to fit our preferences. There really is no help for us, not that we would admit to our customization addiction if there was help.
