696 rebuild - on the road & stage 2

[Raux]

Thanks. yeah i too think the windscreen ended up looking perfect

and as far as english... some of their accents were so strong i had trouble understanding them

[geoffduc]

Looks awesome. That windscreen really fits well. We're the Brits impressed by your mechanical skill and ability to properly speak english?  

Well first off his mechanical skill, He won the best new style monster award but up untill now hasn't posted any pics...

And secondly yes we did under stand him but I think he struggled to under stand some of our accents...

I'm thinking of not posting just to cont seeing you asking

Finally got a chance to get a photo shoot done and working on a video. Just for fun.

Nice choice of backdrop! Next come back when it's making steam.  Which windshield is that and how effective is it compared to stock, especially turbulence? Looking good!!!

[Raux]

That's the DP shield. Bit taller than stock. plus for me it mounts directly on the dash and not on the light like the original because i'm using a custom light and mount.

The train is a museum piece in front of the rail works in Kaiserslautern. Every time I've driven past it I had thought about how this would look.

[Raux]

Finally got around to getting the rear matching wave rotor mounted and new Ferodo Platinum pads all around.

[Raux]

oh and one of the rear sprocket nuts was finger tight   good thing I checked

[Raux]

New 1" longer bars, mirrors and grips. Also Ram mount for GPS on left bar.  





got tired of looking at the low end of the bar for mirrors.

Still thinking about pulling the forks through 1" and putting the clipons above the triple.

Love your bike, especially the exhaust.
Any problems with the TÃœV due to your modifications?
Or don't you have to take the technical inspection, since you are with the army (i guess).
And you license tag isn't our regular size either....want have...

Congrats on the win ! Your bike is sick, my fav is of course the front end, the front brake master cyl. is a nice touch I imagine stoppies with one finger, not only have you built one of a kind you've helped a lot of us out with your all your posts. Hope to see it with those new wheels you mentioned.

[Raux]

Actually I almost picked up a set of radial brake/clutch masters from a SF. missed them by that much

thanks for the kind words.

yeah the wheels. no one makes 4.5" aftermarket rears. so sticking with stock for now. besides don't have 1800 to drop on wheels right now

Lightweight Billet Fly wheel from Gotham Cycles on the way

Love the exhausts mate - reminds me of two stroke GP bikes with unequal length expansion chambers
