This is an advanced mod  Italians will love it - they seek individual fabrication  |

I have a colleague in Germany and when he was here last summer indicated that German law is very strict on modifications to motor vehicles, especially the exhaust. Was my colleague full of shit or did you find a loop hole in the laws?

US Government registration is different  but everything I've done is reversible. THere are plenty of Germans running Termis etc on their bikes. They just change them out to stock for their inspections. but we still can get fix it tickets. |

Raux, I love what you're doing with this bike - beautiful and truly unique  . But please... lose the headlight "over-bite" and then it would be more beautiful and less unique . |

well I have an idea. I picked up an S2R Monster windscreen that fits it as is. If I move it in... it's a no go....
it's red right now. Have to test fit it, take a pic

..........................
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

yeah yeah.. i know this was supposed to have been an interim fix. ran into funds issues on the getting the clamp CNC'd and support from a shop that had one. I was just thinking an interim fix for the windscreen as well as the light... |

Do what you can, when you want The idea and the pictures just seemed so spot on. Does the S*R windscreen mount to your headlight bolts? |

It's not perfect, but it looks better with it than without.
Standard headlight to match things up?
Silver paint? Leave some red in the middle?

Umm, no. It looks OK in the 2nd picture. But any view looking from the front is terrible. It's obvious the headlight doesn't match the windscreen. The new exhaust is very cool. |

Ehh.. I'd leave the windscreen off... for sure.
Cut those damn headlight brackets and stick that light in tight to the forks!!!
