I spy a few Ape Tuono parts on there.

Looking great mate.

Have you started it yet ?

Would love to hear it running.

Varadero parts are available here in Oz as they were sold here new in limited numbers.

After almost 5 years of ownership you have me thinking but I think flatslides would be cheaper for me.

Mate,

Your bike looks the goods and is sure to garner a lot of attention when you get it on the road.

Keep the photos and progress coming please a, and big kudos to you for doing this !

I am stressing about an up side down front end conversion and after reviewing your posts I am thinking that I am a ***** and what I am facing is nothing compared to what you have achieved.

Good luck and keep us posted on where you are up to as I know that myself and many others will be interested in what you do and more importantly how you do it.

Cheers from Down Under !

Hi Ken,

And thank you for your kind words!!! This project so far took me four years, cause I couldn't find the parts I needed for this project... I would have to buy them original then I had to pay a small fortune... Till now most parts came from destroyed motorcycles e.x Varadero parts bought them last year... Even needed specific parts from this bike, from Aprilia bought the whole bike as the engine was off... By next week I hope to mount the single radiator below the steering, and as a headlight I have picked one from KTM duke which will be trimmed with one led light and a number plate above it!!!
As a conclusion... As the years passed I have noticed that it's a real pain in the neck to do such a project! Haven't regretted but four years with no motorcycle???? Damn I missed it so much!!!!

Cheers mate!!!

fabiostar

epic build sir..


two things. how hard was it to fit the yokes and whats the single rad from?

firestorm

Hi Fabio and sorry for my late reply, well it wasn't much difficult cause we took the whole front system from the tuono so we didnt had many modifications to do on that, also the rad is no longer the same i m having a custom build so i m remapping the front area again. I believe that this week or next i ll start the motor again!!!
Cheers mate
