A few more changes and refinements! Tucked the headlight in closer, fixed up wiring again, finished off the color scheme, repacked exhaust cans, redid battery box and under tank setup, just to name a few. ST Leggera by Brubache, on Flickr ST Leggera by Brubache, on Flickr ST2 Leggera by...

Keep going! There are never enough stripped out ST's :)

Fixed up some wiring on the left side. Added a white section on the tail to lighten it up a bit. Visually I really like it. Hopefully some seat work next. artsy pic ST2 Leggera by Brubache, on Flickr ST2 Leggera by Brubache, on Flickr ST2 Leggera by Brubache, on Flickr

Thanks guys! Glad you like her. I really love the lettering as well. Such a classic font! As for the headlight it was out of a UK vendor cannot find it at the moment sorry! Its ok. Great for people seeing you in the daylight, but poor spread at night. Depends on what you want from it. As...

Cleaned up the rear a bit. Painted my exhaust hanger to better disappear. Also removed the rear hugger. Gives more visual space in the rear. Lightens the whole thing up. Next want to try without the center stand on. Should really free up some visual space.

Moved the overflow tank into the tail side pod from under the tank. Didnt like the idea of water spraying around under there. This Triumph piece tucks up nice and neatly and holds more water. Win win! Guess ill need to re work under the tank now as I have so much space! Btw... she is a rip...

Re: BMW Police Brick "Clair" 3-23-14 UPDATE Polished Aluminum gas tank on!! Right side looks HOT! Left side the ammo box ruins it. Doesnt fit with your theme. You have a nice line going! Minimal yet a bit angry. I like the seat section , polished tank looks supreme. The rear fender is...

Im trying to convince a friend of mine to pull his off to have me figure out the fit ;)

Agreed. The reason it is as it stands is that I wanted to be able to revert to the stock if so desired. But.... I am seriously thinking of the solo seat :) Also under the seat and in the side pods are an overflow tank, Computer, relays etc. All that said... if I ever decide to keep it naked I...

Added a few bits and bobs. Scored a set of used Ducati Performance pipes. She sounds the business now! Sorted out all the teething issues which have been minimal. Got about 150km on since completing. A royal blast! Enjoy! IMG_20140312_184352 by Brubache, on Flickr IMG_20140312_184508...

Re: BMW Police Brick "Clair" 3-2-14 update Enjoying this build! But the ammo box is really not working! The rest is very good though. Got a nice tough look to it.

Not sure this info is useful but the mono shock and antidive are a bit of a pain on GPZ. Most guys by pass the antidive because it universally really doesnt work. Almost everyone on GPZ 550s pulled it off. The mono shock. Ok after having an 82 GPZ 550 with the monoshock I can tell you that...

NOW its great! The bars make the bike!

Few updates. Getting all the wiring bits sorted out. Still have a problem that I need to fix with the fuel gauge not working. Annoying. All the others seem to be fine now. Got the lettering laid up nicely on the sides. Went vintage Ducati script for some flair. Just added braided clutch and...

The Ducati ST2 is a lovely Sport Touring bike. 944cc 2 valve dead simple. Bought her in the summer with 6700miles on her. She was stolen early in life and hence had a rebuilt title. Like all good projects this one started out as I started to peal off the layers and discovered more an more...
