Woo. Title: Re: Kudos to Dan at Norman Racing Post by: MendoDave on September 19, 2008, 12:27:22 PM That's pretty cool. I wont even ask what it cost. How does it look on the bike?
Title: Re: Kudos to Dan at Norman Racing Post by: Drunken Monkey on September 19, 2008, 12:28:58 PM Hopefully I'll find out this weekend [thumbsup]
Cost? Well the headlight was cheap [thumbsup] The rest... Not :-\ Title: Re: Kudos to Dan at Norman Racing Post by: Michael Moore on September 19, 2008, 01:06:49 PM Oh man, is that ever pimp! [thumbsup] [thumbsup]
Title: Re: Kudos to Dan at Norman Racing Post by: tigre on September 19, 2008, 01:21:29 PM I can't see clearly. Is that a clock? :P
Title: Re: Kudos to Dan at Norman Racing Post by: tigre on September 19, 2008, 01:22:04 PM That's badass! Will really clean up the look of the bike!
Title: Re: Kudos to Dan at Norman Racing Post by: Spidey on September 19, 2008, 01:22:51 PM Purty [thumbsup] Real purty. [thumbsup]
P.S. Who is this "tigre" guy? :P Title: Re: Kudos to Dan at Norman Racing Post by: smducman on September 20, 2008, 09:21:16 AM That 's sooo sick , John
Hum.. is it going to fit on sport 1000 ? Title: Re: Kudos to Dan at Norman Racing Post by: Desmostro on September 20, 2008, 08:49:01 PM Nice [thumbsup]
That headlight is SUCH a nice shape. Front view? We need mounted on bike pictures. I think I just saw you on Potrero, ' couple days ago - on a scooter...? Title: Re: Kudos to Dan at Norman Racing Post by: Drunken Monkey on September 21, 2008, 12:17:46 AM I think I just saw you on Potrero, ' couple days ago - on a scooter...? Busted! ;D I'm one of the scooter trash these days. Title: Re: Kudos to Dan at Norman Racing Post by: ducati_tim on September 21, 2008, 07:14:03 AM That is a very cool look. Paint it black, and you will look our old /5 ;)

I love scooters. I wish I had one too. [thumbsup] I had one when I lived in Italy. Title: Re: Kudos to Dan at Norman Racing Post by: Drunken Monkey on September 22, 2008, 10:50:14 PM Needs some work (and a better camera)

Hey John--what triple do you have on there? Is that the stock one, all polished up? Title: Re: Kudos to Dan at Norman Racing Post by: Drunken Monkey on September 22, 2008, 11:38:44 PM Hey John--what triple do you have on there? Is that the stock one, all polished up? Nope. That's a sport classic triple. Stu had a spacer machined and Norman racing bored it out for me. I had to saw off the stock ignition mount where the ignition sat, and relocate the ignition to make room for it. And now I'll have to make some sort of strap for the tank now that the stock tank hook thing is gone. Like I said. Still needs work. Thinking a black leather insert for the strap... Title: Re: Kudos to Dan at Norman Racing Post by: duckwrench13 on September 23, 2008, 11:26:26 AM WOW!!! That's gorgeous!

Looks excellent, DM. Just excellent. What'd they have to do to get it to fit? I assume it's set up for the 50/54 monster forks (and you're running SBK). What about the offset? And the lower? We need to take a weekend and get the computer/wiring done on my bike. Prolly before breeding occurs. Idea: You started talking about a leather strap and it got me thinking (no, not like that). With your shiny bike, waddya think about a light/medium brown leather? Start w/ a brown leather tank strap and then think about re-covering your seat. Might look pimp. Try a photoshop.

You know, Maria does leather work. She really likes blending metals and leathers into her projects, so this is right up her alley! I'll ask her if she'd be interested in doing a tank strap.
