The Rockstar can is a signature of ours. We used it on our 218rwhp Freddie bike, and every bike since. Trust me, we drank an ASSLOAD of rockstar to build this bike. Our supplier was out of our signature Titanium hose clamp to mount it. It will have one on it before the magazine shoot.
LA - The stock frame has never seen 175hp. the stock bike is no where near that in the real world. The stock welds are below what i consider acceptable, so they were replaced. The bike feels like its hinged in the middle so we fixed that in the frame.
Whats inside the swingarm is a bit of a secret. thanks.
The DP kit? you are kidding, right? We shaved more than 7lbs off the crank and flywheel, not to mention the simple porting and pistons, all you need, and then some. The biggets gains were found in the cam timing and in the intake mods, like most always.
I dont quite understand your comment about the smodel suspension being worth? this is an S model, but the S model suspension, while ohlins, is far from superbike spec. The bodies and pistons were changed, and a mid valve was added. Now the suspension is pretty amazing. Im happy.
Dont get me wrong, the stock bike really is pretty good, this is just my version of what they could do without having to mass produce the thing, and now having to worry about some wobbler getting on it and killing themselves.
As far as the subjective statement, Yeah, its my opinion, and Freddie Spencer's, so I feel safe in quoting it.
[Asado, the mirrors look pretty cool... are they as wide as the Stockers? My shoulders are a bit wider than most, and tend to block out most everything.. Do you know anyone at Rizoma? PM me with that, and Id love to give them some exposure if the stuff is good.]
Taft - This actually wasnt that bad of a build.. A bit stressed, but the Transformers build was all hands in and more than 1600 hours in 21 days... I brought cots to the shop and got a hotel room down the street so the guys could shower.
I dont think Im going to leave the stock ECU on it, I rode up with the TC off... WAY more fun that way, but killed a Pirelli in 800 miles... its DONE

I have a 4xl upper body and my solution to any mirror problem is I just raise my arm a little and look under my arm. I guess you could say I look under my arm pit.
Actually I raise my Elbow and look under my arm pit. Works with my my Stock " R " mirrors and my Rizoma Radial Nakeds on my S4Rs.The BMW K1300GT mirrors are wide enough that I can see normally.
