M944SS build

[Kalishnikov]

Hiya folks. I wanted to drop by and post the details of my build, which I've dubbed: "M944SS". I consider her something of a modern cafe racer as 2 primary goals were weight reduction and performance boost, and I've bolted on nothing superfluous imho. But mods feel free to move where it's most appropriate.

After a string of mechanical failures I got the idea to have my favorite air cooled motor of all time fully rebuilt and blueprinted for a lifetime of performance and reliability, and for the overall bike to have as many NOS OE parts as possible as to have a "brand new" first generation carby Monster, but with the aftermarket upgrades I wanted.

Motor: '96 900ss, fully torn down to the case halves and bare heads & powder coated.

Exhaust was originally for a 750 so the vertical header needed to be chopped and have an additional 2" or so added, afterwards I had the entire setup ceramikoted. My fabricator Jimmy did a fantastic job both with the exhaust:



And the end caps which were originally meant for an SL:

Eh, I'm not really liking Tapatalk or my Android app for posting so far, I'll try to organize this disjointed mess of photos a bit better later. Also, my apologies if there's an introduction forum I missed before posting.
