Hmm, not sure if there's a Oreilly's in Portugal, could be wrong though.:biglaugh:
Fred does some amazing work to his bikes that's for sure!unk:

Looking good Fred!
You planning to paint the "scoops" and belly pan to match the faux?

 

[bikedave99]

How much shipped to Arkansas!? You take kidneys? Ha ha, that is as sweet look Fred, well thought out and the work of a craftsman!

I have the feeling the original lid would fit better the smooth lines of the bike.
But finally I see that kit mounted hahaha

That is just a mockup. I need to spend much more time trimming the fiber and making the fixtures so i can seat on it without damaging or braking something. Im considering painting the bike on a sparkling gold like the engine on Grizzly. I need to do some tests first. The seat will have a cabinet door hinge/shock so i can raise the seat and it holds upright while i refuel. I already modded a seat latch from an Aprilia to lock this seat down properly and with a key...

I was thinking of selling the full plug and play rear end to finance some stuff i need to buy. If the right person shows up we might come up with a deal...

Is that a self made kit Fred? I saw another bike that looked similar I think there's a thread on it here somewhere I think it was called King Ralph. He had it white w/gold graphics I believe and I think he's from Germany. But I do really like the whole body style great job. That really changes the look and style of the Vmax. I do like it though.

I like that body kit Fred. It's gonna be SICK!!!

Are you talking about Ralph Lindenmayer? His setup is similar but i kept the rotor on the same side... Hes using square tubing which i don't like much, In order to avoid extra tubing and braces i made the swingarm with round tube and then welded 2 L shape bars above and below the main tube to find the rigidity i was looking for. Similar to drawing below... I think you can have an idea by looking at the closeup beneath...

Really like it. That's one of the best I've seen, but please don't ruin it with that hideous paint, just my opinion of course. :biglaugh:

 

[wildweasel_pt]

This paint was a test and in the sun the bike really stands out with all the glitter. Its gonna be changed now...

Fred, I just meant the fiberglass body kit. I definetly know the rest of the bike is totally different. Even though your scoops are now gone the line it takes into the rad are cool. I'm still a big fan of the scoops but if I had to lose them I like your body kit. It seems a ton of guys outside the US anyway see the Vmax as more of a sportbike I think and though I've seen some really nice ones such as yours I still favor the hot rod look like a muscle bike. But I really admire your ideas and you've got some serious design skills. I like it. Ed

Yes this is a home made kit. Thanks
