tini,

Sorry for this, but you're right it looks very fugly ....

Now I got seconds thoughts on installing my clip-ons for this same very reason ... got no $$ for a new top triple ..

Send it to me. Ill mill the lugs off.

You got the idea right ... but the OEM is as tini says, fugly ... The bar support as I though is to have the 4 bolts go thru from top bar clamp to triple if you want to use the bar and have a 4 tiny bolts to cover the holes when using clip-ons ...

I might do that locally... shipping to the US and then getting it back without paying taxes is a real adventure ...

If I send my 996 can you machine it into a newer model?

I think I have 999 envy. :P

I could machine it into a pile of chips.

Trust me, that feeling of envy will go away right quick.

I have no seat time on a 996 so I can't compare.  

I gotta say though, im really starting to realize the full and awesome potential that the 999 really has.

I can see why it crushed in wsbk and im  just a hack.

This machine rocks.

Nothing like drilling a 1.5" hole from scratch in like 15 seconds.

I should have got that on video. . .

I'm not sure If I did or not. Is there a point other than "afterning" is something you say on the other thread?
