Right. Sorry...
On another note, I was inspecting my belts today. They have maybe 100 miles on them and the vertical belt has a linear crack along a small section of the "sidewall" with a 1/2" piece of fiberglass strand sticking out. Tension is good.
I don't get it. Bad batch maybe? They are Exactfits from Chris. Maybe I can snap a pic (though I snipped off the little piece already).

Small update: Exhaust wrap and oil cooler delete (yes I remembered to remove the spring valve from the oil filter recess). Still lots to do (mount quarter fairing, reskin seat, suspension, etc) ...and I think my headlight might be too low..  |

I like the way this is turning out. Is that the stock seat pan that was trimmed ? I don't remember it being covered.

Thank you. Yes the seat pan and seat are stock. I trimmed a lot of excess plastic from the sides of the pan and tons from the foam. Passenger area was untouched. The nose of it also needed trimming to accommodate the ss tank.
The final will be a steel pan where the nose attaches to the same bracket the tank attaches to. The pan will then go back at a very slight upward angle. Where it meets the frame again it will make a 20 degree bend and continue on to the tail light. This will have a fiberglass tracker seat pan and a lifepo 8 cell will be inside the tail piece.

Out of curiosity, why the oil cooler delete? I know the stock one isn't much but at least it's something.

According to many builders much more educated than I have stated that oil coolers on the 750 and 900 are not necessary. Maybe if you live in an urban environment where air temps exceed 100 degrees. Or maybe if you have a heavy track warrior.
Modern synth oils are very resistant to heat. Nothing to worry about.
I did it for looks.

You ought to finish off the front with a SS fender now. That would look sweet with that fairing.

Where's the smart ass emocon?
I meant suggs for paint...I'm thinking black with a red stripe. And then copy it when I do my tail piece. Using ducati colors in an uncommon scheme.
Figuring out the bracket to extend the headlight so it doesn't bounce around like a jack-in-the-box is gonna be a pain.
