Well for a Standard Leggero base model Foot Controls, Hand Controls and Engine are stock thats about it. And when you consider how the engine is rebuilt and modified pretty much just the hand controls and foot controls are stock which is weird cause that's one of the easiest and first things people change on their bikes (at least that's what I did).

Bodywork â€" WSM kevlar tank with fuel barrier lining. WSM kevlar tail. WSM rear fender

i'm finding myself inexplicably drawn to this thing.  and it's local.  lucky i don't have any money at the moment, the business can hide this sort of stuff just nice when there's cash.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

My favorite Walt bike is not Italian.

pic?


This pic was taken by a pro photog for the WSJ. They thought the bike was a little 'over the top' and made the pics come out very subdued.

The paint is actually something like 5 coats of medium/large flake over a black base and in the sunlight will blind you. It was a lot of fun doing it.

Not sure...

I think putting the bike in the rag was a stretch from the outset, and they didn't want to offend the sensibilities of the conservative business types.

It's all ancient history anyway.

That is another great looking WS bike. Is that a 696 swingarm on it?

^^^ I really don't understand going with the 1098 gauges for that bike. The motogadget gauges look better than factory ones most of the time. A lot of time for something only duc people would notice. Oh well, still looks sexy. And that tri color Walt,  [drool] [drool]
