Off topic: What is Bunny Coffee?

It is a project we are working on, we are updating the website right now but in essence we are selling direct trade, small farm coffee 

savetheclutch

not many updates on the project department but I have been riding this and I love it



savetheclutch

in the spirit of keeping this going, some updates:

the M800 is basically done, I have been riding it around and It is a lot of fun though I think I need to change the sprockets to a different size


the s2r is coming along, just been waiting for parts etc I am considering installing a Danmoto dash on it


in between all of this I went to Austin for motogp and it was an awesome experience






we also went to the handbuilt moto show and saw these sweet ducs

before going to Austin for moto gp this idea of getting a 999R got into my head so i looked around and found a great deal which sold while I was away  :-[ so I started looking around and found  a 749 that came with a 999 engine and an extra frame.. we will see what I will do with those but for now I am doing a resto mod with the 749


I have been riding the hyper and this thing is just sooo much fun!



and we are back to putting back together my friend's 1098



oh and we have this M900 in for some maintenance, this bike was the exact one that got me back into motorcycles a few years ago.. I tried convincing the owner/friend to sell it to me but no go :)

Thanks - found it (CC-Racing Garage)

Did you use stock brackets between cover and seat pan?

the way the pan is made you dont need the brackets but you will need to drill it once fitted. One little thing though, the edges/corners are not flush with the seat so you will need to do a little moding unless you dont mind it

I have not had a lot of time to work on the bikes but here is some progress on the 749
powder coated the frame, upgraded to the newer swing arm and updated the suspension to Ohlins 




oh and started adding carbon bits


still not sure what color it will be tough, I am thinking black
