Oh man you are a tease.  I thought we would get to hear some throttle being twisted...

Sounds nice though.  Have you ridden it yet?

She's mean as hell. I've ridden her twice but have to send the left side exhaust back to the fabricator to reweld some joints to take into account the oil cooler lines.  :-\ But Randy has been awesome about everything so I should have her back soon enough to stare at her while winter causes me to buy more shit I don't need.

Talk about trellis frame popping out  [drool]

Remove zip ties or replace with red?
Have you checked if there are any narrow Pace radiators available?
Sooner or later you're going to do BST  http://motowheels.com/c-181223-parts-wheels-tires-wheels.html

Very good result  [thumbsup]

With my exhaust Lars, I'm honestly scared to go down the Pace radiator route because my bike needs two fans to keep cool with the new exhaust routing.

And as for BST's, not in my future. Forged Marchesini's quite possibly, something like these perhaps.....Maybe I even have them sitting in a box waiting for the day when I feel ok putting them on the bike.....

Did you have it sniffed on a Dyno'd to see if it's lean?
Can't say I'm convinced that a Pace won't be enough...

Those wheels are ok.

Just trying to keep you busy through winter  8)

I could do the swingarm if anything but I think I might keep it that color for now. maybe a 2014 project. Between the wheels and the exhaust, my winter project account is bone dry.

Maybe one of these days I'll bring her across the pond for WDW.

Maybe one of these aluminum radiator "hoses" would help your problem with exhaust routing by the coolant hoses.

I wonder also if the narrower Pace would create a greater gap between your exhaust and the radiator plumbing.
