Nemo's M800

So, the M800 is a keeper, Nemo is getting a t-shirt made (and a new one everytime he outgrows it) saying "Dad is allowed to ride my Ducati until I can reach the rearsets" - and maybe a "loud pipes saves lives" on the back!
And to celebrate this, I have been a busy little beaver collecting bargains for the latest performance enhancing additions...
New suspension, suspension and engine tuning, and hand controls are on the list...
I'm not spillin' the beans just yet, this thread is a placeholder to remind me to post us some pics, and to tease / inspire you bling addicts..

Yes. Of course the bike is for Nemo you bad man!!
Hope you have an awesome time blinging Nemo's ride. My bambino is practicing on his own wheels right now. He is ten years old and currently rides a Yamaha TTR90. My bambino is nearly as tall as me. Gosh they grow up fast.

Ha!
Nemo's 2 and a bit now, and yeah it's flown. Lucky for him, he'll be my height (and hopefully not my weight!) so all he'll need to do is get the suspension tuned (and start his own bling adventure with it, of course!)
And a big +1 on the dirt action. I've been planning a trailer addition for two purposes, trailering the bike down to the snowys in the summer (so I can take it and the family!) and for weekend father / children dirt action!

Yes, mine to is a keeper, but I dont think I will give it to my kids, but looking at my eldest grandaughter (who currently punts a pit bike around ok) maybe the one to pass on to, as this would surely piss my eldest boy off.

may I suggest Kyle racing if you decide to go the ohlins route.
also 2nd hand adjustable showas and then custom sprung/valve would be a great option, keep the front end looking stockish. reckon proper springs are one of the best mods anyone can do (specially as our weight is up there!)
then I'll start on the 999 wheelset for you shall I?
we could get them repainted in metallic grey like the frame?
just email me mate and I'll start the research/purchases TODAY
I'm doing it for the kid!

Spider, the forks and some other mods are already a done deal.
not focussing on aesthetic atm, that'll be down the track.
Craigo, did you end up finding one locally? What'd it cost?

Your placeholder needs a bump ... won't be doing much reminding on page 2.
Reminder: post some pics / spill some beans.
