ok so I'm waiting for just the Force exhaust (coming in tomorrow), the resistance for the LED light blinkers (also arriving tomorrow) and the new rear brake master cylinder (its own was broken and I purchased a used one on ebay, really cheap), then the bike is ready to rock&roll!
by the end of this week will be sleeping in my garage and I can't wait!!! I'm starting to love it more than the S1.... maybe, I'm still not sure! :-)
ok so here's some new shots before the storm...

Looks great; what color orange is that? Looks like Hugger orange that Chevy used to use.

Italian - At first look I thought both the frame and plastics were the same orange. It looks like the plastics have a gold tint to the orange. The frame looks hugger orange. I always wanted a bike or cool car that color.

Limited,
I won't install any gauges. decided to do a stripped down streetfighter style, so no gauges.
I anyway won't need to sell my 3 Buells in the future, I've done them for me, they're my little collection, so no need to show the mileage.

What about a Motoscope mini with the handlebar clamp. It's a sick setup and one day I'll buy it...

I was wondering. I have one for my S1 but it looked like the welds on that one were non existent where the top and sides came together.

Nice piece

thanks Curt.
triples are custom made, were done in Italy.
I've had the bottom done for my S1 as well, to pair with the top from Billet to Race.
the measurements are the same as the stock.

this are the tires...

bike will be ready wednesday the most. I'm just waiting for the O2 bung to come, I had to adapt the Force pipe I bought, cause it was for M2 and had no O2 sensor port. so I had to buy one on ebay.
tuesday will probably show up, mount the exhaust, close the fuel tank, drill the holes for the CF side panels and the bike is ready to go.
stay tuned, by the end of the week I'll post some pictures of the bike completed.
I'm glad you guys like it, this project has been the most exciting so far...
