wow only quality and expensive stuff
Estimated current value of the project ?

 

[johntmax]

estimated cost = over 3 years away from the pub! It would probably scare me, but when will it end.... I just love the max and love improving it.

Wishlist... custom frame and bigger engine.

I see a good house invested into this project LOL

Not exactly my way but I'd say very good build up :clapping:

Nice, one comment - do you not need a longer rear brake torque arm? looks like bolt will catch rear dampner? have a similiar set up and never noticed, caused a bit of a mess!

 

[johntmax]

The rear brake torque arm bolt was spotted before any damage occurred, as clearance was mimimal. Shaved a few mil off the head and all was well.

Well done. I like the black with silver flame paint . I also love blue ! Good choices on all your add ons. keep us posted on any new upgrades. I would like to see a full size pic from each side as well. unk:

That's could have been a fair bit of coin back in my drinking days! Nice work and the paint looks great! :thumbs up:

Sweet Bike
Nice attention to detail :worthy:

A windscreen coming from a rocket 3 or a street triple will have been more gorgeous
Both bikes have the same dual headlight.

Both bikes have the same dual headlight...... will have to check that out as it did not cross my mind at the time I was looking.


Thanks Diablotin.

 

[Diablotin]

Illustration might help I guess

 

[johntmax]

Thanks Michael,

I recall looking at some similar type mini screens over here but opted (presently) for the MRA - thing are always subject to change however....

This is how she normally looks with the standard bodywork.

Thanks for the interest

John
