I still want to know where I can get a dual exhaust, outide of seeing if raask can make one.

hummm...

interesting look there for the aluminum case. i like the pollished look, but do you think a clear coat would be needed to keep the shine? *without using 1 hour of rubbing after each ride to keep the shine.

i really like the front end.

Is that Nitrous or the remote shock res?

BTW - whoever has that avatar of Will on SNL doing the "I need more cowbell" thing ...    :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Nice pipes. Seems like all the Brits have 'em.  Are the 2 into 2 readily available in the other hemisphere or just a popular custom mod.  I havn't  seen them for sale over here.  If they are custom, how many bends per header?  I think I count four.  I was thinking I might throw together a pair for shoots and grins.  I have a tube bender that's set up for 1" right now, I would just have to get the dies for whatever diameter tube I chose to use.

Lev,
Top notch work, as always. With all that work you've done did you have any time left to ride it? :lol:


[the guys on the 600rr board give me grief about not washing my bike often...]

[Rich500]

Seriously, your bike is spectacular. It looks superb. I love all the details. Some bikes are good 20 foot bikes, yours however, gets better and better it seems, the closer you get to it.

[juggernaught]

Beautiful Lev..!!!  Definitely a labor of love.  That swingarm is da bomb..!!!    

[bcutrufelli]

real nice i love those wheels

Pablo , i managed to get out on it once since the rebuild , only to blow the rockercover gasket , one of the cam bungs decided to blow out , not straight away mind you, oh no, no ..it waited till i was 3 miles away from home to do it ..i rebuilt it only to have it happen again , at home this time , i had wised up from the first  time ..it would seem that the gasket was defective ..probably a moral about buying pattern parts here ..a genuine replacement sorted it out , ive installed and fitted the last few bits and only really have the graphics to apply ..as soon as the rain stops ill finish up and post again

Thanks to everybody for all the encouragement
