Hi!

The project:
- Yamaha R1-99 Front fork
- R1 front calipers
- Bulldog wheels

- Homemade exhaust
- Chopped rear frame
+ Tons of more or less mods..

This winter:
- R1-03 Front fork
- ISR 6 piston calipers and discs
- HC-pistons
- Sharper cams
- Dyna 3000
- Kehin 39 mm Flat slide carbs
- Dyna coils and ignition cabels
- All metal hoods molded and reborn in carbon/glas fibre
- Carbon fibre front/rear mudguard
- ISR levers
- Tarozzi Paolo clip-ons

Interesting build. I like it. I don't think i would want to ride it Ouch. definitely blurring the line between cafe and bobber. That thing has got to haul ass. Especially after your mods this winter. what are the molds for? Keep it up and welcome.
 
Rear-est rearset award goes to you my friend.......absolutely rediculous ;D

A very nice and tidy build though - props to you for that ;)
 
Thank's for digging my build!

The aim was as u say to blur the borders between the different styles.
All fused into a new one.

The molds are for my new carbonfibre casings, left and right side.
The nr 1 enemy to HP is weight as we all know.
Less is more!

With the new engine components I hope to squeze out about 85-90 RWHP.
But I'll have to wait and see what the bench says :-\
 
New headlight test mounted.

First try on the first pic, then the finished mockup.
Improvment or not from the dual headlight setup?
 
i know i have said this but man I really like this bike! it is a great build and shows what you can do if you are just man enough to sack up and build something... very cool
 
ya right Louie, you just closed your garage, when you opened it the next time all the parts just changed and the bikes were differnet! if so i got about 5 projects that i would love to stick in that magical garage!
