That is rad.

What sort of build are you going for? Museum piece or something you can ride?

A Museum piece I can ride

Re: 1995 Mantis Flying V - maybe a custom order

this is my HT, serial number 95VPC056, the favorite bike of my son (7 years)

Now it's so

Oh man, do you have to keep posting pictures to remind me of the biggest regret of my life.

Re:

I went M900/910 for the group. The Powdercoated bar is slightly thicker than normal so the 950 and WI group wouldn't fit right.

These were a saving grace for the bar. I picked these up locally. Pretty sure they are precision billet. They were originally black so I stripped the annodizing and polished them silver so it matches everything else.



The next part is tricky. I need to fab up some special routing for the magura hydraulic hosing.

Following this for updates, that's going to be a sweet looking machine

Nice Chris! You really are a dark horse.
If you've got photos of before and during the build, please do a thread to show all.
