| Re: got her down to 380 for the street Amazing, thats 99 pounds less than mine... though yours, in my opinion, looks half finished.
What are the mods if you dont mind? Sounds unrealistic to me  |

| Re: got her down to 380 for the street It looks ready to go, it doesn't have to be pretty to you, as long as it is pretty enough for the rider.
My question is that 1099 sticker, is it a Duc joke or is there 100cc more than my 999? |

| Re: got her down to 380 for the street I think that mag cover you covered up with carbon is one of the nicest touches on the bike stock. I assume 380lb is what you mean, wet/dry?
Is the tail and pass. pegs, fairing exhaust 40lb lighter? |

| Re: got her down to 380 for the street I'd have thought getting all of the parts chromed it would have added weight?!

these pic's were taken when i finished building and mounting the pipes --- there ceramic coated now -- in other words the bike was unfinished--when i finish the tank -- from the black wings down will be black satin -
i'm building a new rear pipe now - that the end of the megaphone will come out on the left chain side -- like the front megaphone |

| Re: got her down to 380 for the street Be nice! You want those kids to grow up and be motorcyclists or would you rather they are drunk hulligans with 4x4s?
Freedom is all about being self responsible to not inhibit on the freedom of others. It is very hard work being free, it is not a right it is a responsibility.
Live by that rule as the only rule there is! Quote:

to fix the lowend problem i am going to use 2 long volicity stacks -- witch should give me the low end grunt back ---
wait till U see the new rear cylinder pipe when it is done! -- and a 09 cbr 1000rr tail on her |
