This bike is still as sekc as all hell man... Great job.

Some suggestions if I may say, rim tape, aftermarket pegs, SS colored lines etc etc? Even though it doesnt need em I think it would look awesome.


Thanks for the compliments :oops:
LOL rim tape... i tried that a view weeks ago, i bought a set in blue with a applicator.... what a horrible job, i started over 2 or three times but everytime i had 1 or more wrinkles so i stopped.
Pegs are in the pipeline, a friend of mine is going to make them for me.

Bravo. :bowdown:

Thanks  :thumb:


Today i cleaned the carbs, now it's running fine, so i only have to wait for the "chain protector" thing  :angel:, the new chain to be mounted and nice weather of course  :D

Get the curved rim tape ... The straight stuff is just punishment!!

Lol now i know... Sadly i learned the hard way.

The last parts...



I hope to make a test drive this weekend.

Good news:
This weekend i finaly had the chance to make a testdrive on the bike  :woohoo:
I drove for i think half an hour and everything went well.
It just needs a small adjustment of the gas and clutch cable and some fine tuning of the carbs.

He people, is has been a view weeks since the last update, but yesterday i bought some new goodies for me and the bike:  :woohoo:



I hope this week i can find a Little time to install the brake lines.  I have been pretty busy for the last weeks :-(. Altough i had the time to male a descent test drive on the Gs and i am relay surprised about the improvement in performance. Mounting the smaller front sprocket and the dynojet stage3 kit relay makes a lot of difference.

Yesterday i got a Contour camera from a friend of mine  :woohoo:
So i made 2 short movies for you guys :)

1: Walk around the bike:

The only problem i had was with wind noise, this time i "fixed" it with a tape and a piece of fabric.
How do you guys coop with wind noise in the camera mic.

Golly

Looooove this bike so much

Thanks, those were barracuda mirrors :)

Tape a cotton ball over the mic hole. On most cameras it's just hole in the casing somewhere.

Your bike was my inspiration. I wish I knew how to fabricate metal like that!

Also I need to get a small windscreen like yours. Very cool

Ride with the people you love in mind.

Can you edit your post to have the modifications on the first post? I had to scroll down quite far to find them.

Also I love your windscreen. " Ducati Monster fairing". Can you post the exact model? Part number?

I had an idea the other day. Have you seen the Suzuki M50 headlight housing. I was going to start working with Patrick on that but he passed away. I think this headlight would look great on our type of bike. Not sure if you like it though.

I have been thinking about putting all update's in the openings post, but that wouldn't make it a real project topic in my eyes.
This way you follow the project a bit more, questions and reactions are now more in perspective of the way the bike is build.

I like the original idea for your headlight, but I'm planning to mount a LSL MT03 headlight in the future.

I do not have a lot of information about my windscreen, but i know that it came from a 2011 monster.

Instead of the LSL MT03, what about the Suzuki Gladius headlight? A quick ebay search shows that they are a bit cheaper than the MT03's and styled near identical. I think my next bike will be a brand new Gladius lol. Looks like an awesome little bike!
I am into buying bikes that people have given up on and fixing them up!

RIP Patrick Lajko, I miss you man.
