started with an tamiya RC30 kit, heavily used my parts box and scratch built all the rest.

engine was cut into pieces to make slimmer (V4 --> V2) and cylinder angle was reduced from 90 to (almost) 52 degrees. also cylinders were made taller.
frame was modified for engine mounting points.
rims where cut apart to add different spokes.
tank was sectioned to become slimmer.
rear cowling was cut apart to make new rear and seat, which was then covered with a piece of leather.
front fender is a modified GPZ rear fender.
exhaust headers made from RC30, muffler and rear shock are scratch built.
many other bits are also scratch built like handlebars, mirrors, clocks (7 different pieces), and so on, and so on.
custom printed decals.

only parts used as shown in the assembly guide: swingarm-axle and spark plug connectors.
rear wheel nut was also not modified, but was used in the scratch built rear shock absorber.

3 1/2 months of work with roughly estimated 300+ hours overall.
