So I decided to start another one....
I'm sure this will take a while as I started gathering parts 2 years ago and this is as far as Ive gotten. Katana frame with a TL1000R swingarm (thanks durgam for the machining) gsxr front end, and God knows what else by the time its all said and done. Sorry for the poor quality pic.

Nice, but won't the lower engine mount drag a little bit? Maybe you could taper it some for better ground clearance.

I figured since it was plastic I'd let the pavement do that for me! Plus this way I dont need a kickstand!
