Looking great   
Is that the Desmoworld headlight or did you fab it up?

Nice, paint the bars black, get your line and cables and go ride that thing!

Slow progress, but the wheel/rotor/caliper combo is finally working together.

Those are some Ohlins FG forks intended for a 916-996 bike.  The wheel is from a 999, the rotors are WSBK Brembo's with zero offset and some funky bolt holes.  Bolts are Ti, calipers are stock 1098 "monoblocks".

Getting this combo to work together has been a pain in the ass, but it seems like it's finally fitted up/torqued down, and clearances are working.  I don't think I'll ever attempt to frankenstein a front end together....I did it cause I had the parts, and they are unique enough I was having trouble selling them.

Anyway, sneek peek:

I was going to complement you on a job well done, rave about those wheels and fork lowers,
beg for more photos and wish you a very merry Christmas.....


,but



now I have to report you, sue you and/or shoot you ....

LMAO.

I thought Raux would like the Hoff most of all.  He's nearly a national hero in Deutschland.

You forget I'm old enough to remember KnightRider.

KIT would not approve of that avatar

   bravo on the front end

The avatar...  not so much.

Front end looks great! I just finished mine as well. A little more straightforward than yours but still quite involved. BST wheel, sbk forks w ohlins guts, Ti bolts and nuts, TPO axle, IMA triples, ISR monoblocks and rotors, MW or Mad-Duc speedo replacement spacer and whatnot. I'll post pictures separately so as not to confuse the thread I figure.

I did all this and now I am left to figure out a gauge setup. Oops. Hopefully you aren't left with any such predicament. Looks like I have an excuse to lower the headlight too.

[TAftonomos]

Brackets done, off to He-Man for some powder coating....



Also got my new rotors finished up, buttons installed.  Ended up changing the front around a bit...didn't like the clearance with those rotors...and they were nearly a pound heavier per side!

Hard to know what to say. Just taking it all in.
What a great job. Guys like you show the way.

[TAftonomos]

Shorter trottle cable, check

Brackets colored up, check.

Waiting on a black clutch line, a rubber mounting piece for the rearsets, and the 2 large bolts for the rearsets.  A minor bit of wiring to get the on/PL/off switch to work (so I can start the bike without having the HID bulb start/stop suddenly), and I'll get to try out all the mods.  Weird...I've been through 12 different bikes in the past 3 years, but never once thought of selling the monster.

After the season is over I plan to attack the instrument cluster, and possible strip it down for a color change/aluminum subframe mod.  Can't see doing anything else after that, but you know how that goes...

[junior varsity]

sweet!

need a pic from a distance though.

Cooool, looks great!
