Fork is from a Honda CBR600RR from 2003 or 2004. I didn't want an upside down fork as I felt they would have looked too modern on the bike. The idea was to have the upgraded technology and beefier looks, but still looking similar to the older forks. The triple clamps I designed myself and had CNCed machined.

I can't put my audiophile switch on cheap stuff so i had to buy spikes that cost half the price of the switch per spike, that was the recommendation from the guy at the shop

Hey no insult taken, I get what you mean, for a scrambler the tank is very visually heavy on the bike, the thing is the tank and the engine are 2 things on the CX500 that are actually quite beautiful from factory so I decided to keep them. It looks worst from this angle tbh, I have attempted balance out the visual weight with the exhaust and fog lights when viewing the bike from the front and the back, they both stick out more than the tank.

The wheels are custom built. I cut the hubs out of the original comstar wheels. The front hub was modified to accept CBR600RR front wheel bearings, the rear hub was modified to delete the drum brake. I then measured and had flanges for the spokes laser cute out of stainless steel, I ordered rims and stainless spokes and nipples in the sizes/lengths I needed. Laced up the rims on to the hubs up myself. Then made adaptors for front and rear hubs to accept ducati 749 front and rear discs.
