Passionate Bike "build"

[He Man]

I dont know if this is a derby or not. But some of you may know the few people here who mod their bikes to hell.

heres another one of them that takes the members here, and multiples it by 10. over 150pages worth of pics in weight comparision, before and afters and other stuff.

From the thread "I appreciate that. I work two jobs, leaving home at 7:00am and don't usually get home until 11:00pm.

Besides my family, working on bike is my only passion in life."


Seems...silly to me.

Nothing is good for you when taken in excess, even if it's the finest thing in life.  Nevertheless, great mods and even greater dedication.

how do you figure that? I can name you a few people who have pretty tricked out monsters here with almost everything replaced... and then theres taft with his titanium fetish im sure hed want to get his hands on that rear rotor!

i think the bike is awesome aside from the mirrors and grip....those look better black.

Not the direction I would go with the 996 since lots of mods are more bling factor.. ok I admit I am just jealoused 
Great build and seem to be a down to earth guy too.

color issues.  burgundy red billet everywhere looks awful. sprocket cover, rear sprocket carrier, rotor carriers, rearsets grips mirrors.... no.

too many colors.  frame is silver...but nothing else is.

and, although its fun for racing bikes, a red bull replica with headlights is not my cup of tea.

Is it better than the pure carbon 998? Debatable.

I'd really like the addition of many of these parts had it not came out looking so busy. Many of them could have been made black, siliver or the grey color of the frame (ti ano perhaps) and the whole shebang would have come together a lot better.

I can appreciate the build but have to agree on some of the styling issues.  For the amount of coin he was dropping he also seemed to take some really odd shortcuts...
