Ducpond replace my tank, installed my SBK forks, moved the oil line, installed cycle cat clips and rizoma grips (finally no reflectors).  Here are some pics:





I dropped the gauges below the triple with one of Taftonomos lowered bracket this afternoon, but as I was buttoning it up, I cross-threaded one of the holes in the lower triple! Argggggh.  So no pics of the lowered and blacked out headlight just yet.

Simple fix.  Just drill it out and re-tap with a M6 bolt  [thumbsup]

Looks good !

Nice forks. Passenger pegs need to go. Too much black, needs some contrast.
Woohoohoohoo! Two personal records! For breath holding and number of sharks shot in the face.

I dig the belt covers, nice touch.  No blinkers?  I agree the pillion pegs need to go but I'm guessing you carry a passenger.  Cool bike [thumbsup]
Every bike I've ever owned.

There are black Rizoma signals up there but they got lost in the picture (they are black so I guess they disappeared into the blackness).

I do carry a passenger on occasion, but they are easy to pull and install, so that's no excuse.

Agree with you on the pass pegs.  I wondered about too much blackness, but I like it.  The cycle cat clip ons were gold before I had them powdered black.  When I put all the uninstalled parts on the floor together, I just couldn't leave them gold.

If you actually use these things just have them powdercoated to match the frame so they dont stand out so much..

When I get some more coin, I might do the opposite of you - red annodized triple with the black forks.  Would match the red annodized top of the forks.

I've also thought about picking another retro/rat color and have Ducpainter paint the tank and cowl.

Real Quick,  Your X-threaded bolt on the triple.  No need to drill out to M6 (at least not initially) , Take an M5 tap and run it in from the top, and you should be fine.

What's the best way to accomplish this? I've seen some Yammie OEM caps which I think are the same, is it easy to transfer the lock?

Very nice ride angler! I concur with the suggestion to black out the passenger pegs... or untape the forks to complement them and the pipes.  ;D
The gold gas cap does come back in the fork sliders though... but since you're getting rid of the gold...
If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.
Stealing their magic geese and helping them plummet to their deaths also has its advantages.
