Sorry, the MC18 is a MKII R5k. I haven't taken any photos of the bike myself, but here's the auction shot.
Considering all the extra perks, such as the rear SP wheel, the Jha chambers, and a whole ton of rust, it was basically given to me. Once I get enough time to tinker with it, I'll probably be taking more photos of the bike myself; perhaps for a build log, or something.
Unfortunately, I'm limited to bikes of the '89 year group, no later. I'm leaving Japan next year, and am making use of the 25 year exemption importing rule, bypassing all fees.
Woah, that's a great shot of what I've been wondering. Is that a swing arm conversion too? Nice.
Yeah, in all honesty, the needs are in the triple clamps. Forks are simply for aesthetics. Inverted forks look interesting, and if budget permits, can be a nice mod to go with the aftermarket triple clamps. However, if the forks aren't inverted, I might just keep the forks I have on now. They don't look bad, and on rides around the block, feel pretty good.
Hmm..
Best regards,
Dan
