I saw the "before" pic and thought, "that's really nice." But it went from really nice to something special. Congrats, great job. |

that looks amazing, would love to see it with the side fairing on, think it would give it even bigger push into awesomeness |

I lol how you taped on the modified underseat pan. How do you get your seat to lock onto the bike without the latch? |

Still debating putting the side fairings on.. I have to cut them up a bit and make new mounts... Also the undertray is not taped lol.. it has fiberglass brackets that hold it in place. The tape you are seeing is a vinyl wrap for the underside and the excess comes around.. And the seat is held on by the hooks that are under the seat. They click into place on the mounts that are attached to the seat rails. Right now they work great and I havent decided on anything else yet. |

I'd put a chin fairing on it but I skip the side fairing. I love seeing the engine. Great looking bike. Nice work. |

Really looks sharp man! Does that Rizoma oil cap work universally from year to year you think? I like the look of that. |

It only fits in the newer style swingarms unfortunately. =/ but that little piece is why i upgraded to the new swingarm lol |

I think I have my old Chin Fairing around in my garage. I replaced it with a Carbon Fibre one years ago. I'm not sure what shape it's in. |

Awesome bike man! I'm jealous now. It was great meeting you today. Bummer it was so short, the attention to detail is amazing. Maybe one of these days you can show me what you'd done and give me some schooling. Once my parts get in we should go ride. I'll pm ya my number. Jon |

An old thread, but a really nice job on the bike!
