Next mod should be powdercoating the frame/swingarm black. It makes a drastic, beastly change from the gold paint. I'm glad I did mine that way.

Mine is in "super-wet black". Did my frame/hoop/swingarm/wheels & triples in it.

Very nice!  I like the Super Duke headlight!

I've been diggin on your Superduke headlight since you posted on the old board long ago.  Been watching eBay but that is a very rare find apparently.  I'm gonna have to the local KTM dealer and find out what the cost of a new unit would be (ouch!).  Did you modify the headlight in any way to mount it or just bend up those brackets and bolt it on?  Very nicely done.

Answers to your questions:

The R6 forks are a little longer than stock but I also dropped the height for better turn in, so its a combo effect

The clutch master cylinder is off some ducati I forget which, I just didn't want the coffin stye, together with the MPL slave its very easy to pull compared to most bikes, the brake master is a stock R6 which is actually a brembo radial mount, this piece is amazing, ridiculous feel, adjustability and plain ol' stopping power, I one finger brake now and still outbrake my riding buddies

I'm not familiar with the gsxr front end swap, and I used an entire front end (wheel/fender/brakes etc) so fitment wasn't too bad, I originally tried to use the R6 triples as well but they made steering difficult, I had to shim the lower triple to get a good clamp on the forks but otherwise no problem

The Super duke headlight has a couple mounting tabs on it, I simply held the light where I wanted and bent pieces of bar stock to make brackets that would bolt to those tabs and various mounting spot on the triples

I just called the local KTM dealer $204.99. Not too bad.

did you get and use any wiring or did you jerry-rig it?

[clubhousemotorsports]

It came with the wiring, I spliced it into the stock headlight harness so it uses the correct connector to plug into the main harness, pretty simple as it's the same setup, one main bulb and a small parking bulb

That bike is simply amazing. Keep up the good work!
