Sorry to hear this news.

Julian was an awesome guy and helped me on a few projects over the years.

Been sitting for a while. Hoping to get it done this winter.

Thanks fellas. 

Motocarrera pipes and rear sets.  Best obtainable pipes in my opinion.  Rear sets are not my favorite and I will eventually change them- they are the originals not the updated version. 

I bought the fork brace on ebay way back- it was advertised as being made by motocarrera but I never was able to confirm in spite of meeting Doug a few times.  The forks are actually off a TX500- I still have the option of going dual disc- I know this is totally unnecessary.  Hubs are RD350. 

Thanks. I was happy to see the site back up and running.

Here is a better pic.

I keep seeing these pop up on ebay.

It is always the "last one" and is so cheap that I am tempted.

Anyone try one of these?

One friend has seen two inexpensive tanks from ebay and one was much better than the other.

What island you on Mike? I have family on Oahu and the big island.

Tired RZ purchased from the Doug Johnson maybe 10 years ago.  He had been using it to design RZ expansion chambers.

Engine still tired but runs- will decide what to do after done with suspension/chassis.

Aprilia Rs250 front and rear wheels.  Aprilia RS complete front end.  86 FZ600 swingarm.  Fab work for chassis/suspension done by FrameMaker.

One off motocarrera expansion chambers.

Working on fabbing up some brackets for some aftermarket rear sets.

My best build to date.  Has been done for a decade or more.  Does not get the attention she deserves. 

The RZ project.  Sitting for a minute but hoping to get back to it this winter.
