It's as much a case of why he did it as how he did it. But did it, he did and the result is this Goldwing-engined Fireblade or Fireblade-faired Goldwing, depending on which side of the fence you're on.Built by Cedric Smith of Everett Powersports, it

Spotted by amcn.com.au, this RZ500 (The Aussie designation for the RD500LC) has been given a modern makeover, with R6 parts, including an R6 front-end, swingarm, tank, seat unit and fairing.I don't know much more about it but the craftsmanship that
