Thanks guys. I'm looking forward to having this bike finished. I don't want to mislead anyone, so just know it's not me that's putting this bike together. I have an extremely talented mechanic working on it. My only role here is sourcing parts out, contracting out the powder coating and of course putting up the $$$ for the job.
List of goodies is as follows:
1. 2004 GSXR 1000 Front forks and calipers
2. Paul Smart Spoked Wheels
3. Cycle Cat black anodized top triple
4. '03 Yamaha R1 50mm Clipons with radial front brake master cylinder
5. Powdercoating to frame, lower triple, valve covers, chain adjuster plates, and alternator cover all in satin gold. The engine case covers, swingarm, hoop and headlight U-bracket are all in gloss black.
Parts en route now:
1. New headlight
2. Pazzo levers
3. new turn signals with billet al. housing
4. Acewell speedo with integrated tach and idiot lights
5. reverse shift lever
6. brake lever
7. black anodized foot pegs
8. 41t rear aluminum Stealth rear sprocket
9. Gold 520 DID chain
10. STM engine case breather filter
11. Black Speigler brake lines
Items still needing to be ordered:
1. Megaphone style exhaust cans (not sure which yet
)
2. Front fender (not sure I want one)
3. Aluminum stamped Ducati gas tank badges
Wish List:
1. Cafe Racer style rear cowl *cough* *cough * Chipo *cough* *cough*
2. Custom 2 into 1 super duper megaphone exhaust. *cough* *cough* Paul *cough* *cough*
Lorenzo, now that you mention it, I think the tank color will be a surprise.
