696 rebuild - on the road & stage 2

....
But maybe I'll grab some matt vinyl and check out the look.

....

That's one reason I suggested it.  It will be fairly easy for you to try and you will do the experimentation for me.  That way I'll know what I want to do with mine.  OBTW; if you do it, be sure to post pics for me to compare.

This is how I "painted" over Raux' plan in a previous thread.

raux, if you haven't sourced 1100 cams, i have a set of dp cams im putting in, and will have the stock cams ready to go out (granted, I don't plan to make that swap until winter-time [and waspworks finally releases their damn PUK], but the race cams are already here waiting)

[DoWorkSon]

Raux, are you still going with an underseat exhaust like the 848?

[Raux]

I have the cams already waiting in the box. thanks for the offer. DuckStew set me up with these.

the underseat isn't my goal now. I'm thinking more of the streetfighter look or the SC zards

ok i'll experiment with the vinyl

the 848 front end is kinda straight forward. I need to put a mount for the aluminum frame on the steering head. Whether I make it permanent (welded) or removeable (clamped) is the question at this point. I've sized it up and it looks incredible. I have the lights, nose piece, corsa windscreen, dash mount, AL mount, and mirrors.
There's no need for more cooling since it doesn't block the lower airflow. and with the decreased air speed behind the screen, should help with the breathing of the air intakes.
I had thought about mounting an oilcooler up front in it like the old F1, but decided to go without the oil cooler since I didn't go up to the 803

Nicely done...  VERY nicely done! 

[dennisd]

I kinda like the bottom subframe that Stopintime worked up.

Hell, I don't know what I want.

[Raux]

if you really study the lines of the subframe, it will come to you.

Your bike came out awesome man! Looks great!

Did removing the bikini fairing make a huge difference in wind for you when riding? I really want to remove mine, but haven't done it yet.

I just shit my pants. Very nice bike.

Are we stating facts or was this a spontaneous result of Raux's awesomeness?


If the former, I farted while typing the bolded word.

i notice it in triple digits and close to that, but it's nice because it takes some of the weight off my hands.
