Wheels on the bike, loving the stance so far. Once the engine and the rest goes in, let’s see how she sits! Thoughts on lengthening the real coil overs?

CBR600RR forks mounted! Used the cognito moto conversion stem pressed into the lower triple clamp. Mounted very smoothly to the bike. Managed to retain the CBR calipers and rotors mounted to the OEM Yamaha XS650 hub using some custom Aluminum rotor adapters and a combination of extra wheel spacers. No loss for braking power now! (Bonus: got to use the CBR clip ons as well 👀)
