The bike was built for Yamaha on a pre-production frame for show purposes. After one year of touring Europe at ket motorcycle shows it was returned to the Wrenchmonkees and rebuilt on a registered Yamaha XJR1300 frame. The Wrenchmonkees removed the EFI and replaced with Mikuni flat slide carbs at the same time for increased power and a higher rev range.
The bike was covered extensively in the motorcycle media and the build story can be found here on youtube: https:www.youtube.com/watch?v=xS3hl3mTdFE
