...is making progress : )

Now that we have the exhaust system made we can sort out the fuelling a lot better, and just have the final touches and details to finish. 'Race' number plate uses quick release fasteners with custom headlight underneath.

That is a Beautiful Motorcycle!
BTW; the Springfield Mile is next weekend.
If you've never been there, you're missing one of the most exciting races of any kind, anywhere.

Matt- Looks great. Any idea of how much weight you were able to shave off of it?

Yes indeed. Carbon tank cover, seat/tail unit, side panels, right side air scoop, front fender, upper & lower belt guards.

I may change the wheels but have to wait on availability ; )

Any idea of how much weight you were able to shave off of it?

Weight saving so far is a modest 23kg just by taking off some of the stock parts, but I haven't removed any roadgoing equipment and it will have lights, indicators, horn etc and be road legal. The replacement exhaust including link pie weights 3kg compared to the stock silencer/catalyst at 13kg!
If I get the wheels I am after then that will save an awful lot more, and I have work to do on the brakes yet.

well hell if you are making it a track only bike, then you do get the weight savings you were talking about.

I like the look but I think I am leaning more to the FXDF for passenger riding. Gonna have to build the street tracker out of the XL883R that I have

NICE!

other than the enlarged airbox/scoop and exhaust are there any engine mods?
Do you have any idea what you gained from the intake and exhaust?

Looks great, man. I woudln't trade my '64 for it, but this is a VERY sharp bike. My girlfriend sitting next to me even thinks it looks a lot better than stock, and the only reason she likes how her bike looks is because it's red, lol.

Reminds me of...



I have always liked the look of that pipe...
I really like how you were able to take the "kink" out of it. (I know some like it kinky- I prefer it straight.)

Nice sliders!

Of course I forgot to mention the superb rear axle sliders/paddock stand bobbins, manufactured specially for us by Keith at Dark Horse Moto : )
Quality, fit and finish are of course excellent as usual from Dark Horse Moto. Thanks : )
