very very nice

Lookin' good!
Is that a 190 rear? |
Sweet, sweet, suuuuhh-weeeeet! Black and gold is a classic combination that never goes out of style.
OK, out with it: details, man, we need details. |
Really nice... I like it alot....
2 questions... what forks are those, and what shock do you have hidden under there? J. |
Looks nice!
|
That is by far the beefiest triple clamp I've ever seen. I want one.
I'm going to take a guess and say either WP or Wilbers shock and 900 'Blade forks. Am I close? |
Love it..without searching I am going to ask where you got the full fairing. I really like it.
Also, did you powder coat the frame? If so, wondering on a general cost. Those are the 2 things I would like to do this year to mine. Beautiful bike! |

exellent job man!!!! I just bought a set of frame sliders off e-bay t-rex sliders for 68usd shipped you may want to protect that nice investment
|
frame and swingarm: paint or powdercoat? please......
I'll say it again, your bike look absolutely awesome!!!! |
What's the story on those caliper brackets up front? They look like brackets for oversized rotors, but the rotors appear stock. It caught my eye because the calipers do not look like they line up correctly with the rotor. Is this just the angle of the photos or is something else going on?
|
Extremely well done.
Very classy!!!!!! :thumbsup: |
Nice ! What can I say ? I am partial to black VTR's . The black frame sets it off !
|
Bravo.....nice touch....classy bike
|
Nice work mate! :cool:

Looks to me like they convert the 900RR caliper mount to the VTR calipers to allow them to work with the stock VTR wheel. At least that's what it looks like....:?: |

love it !

Beautiful

Except the calipers and rotors are both the same as the 900RR. ??? I'm still not sure why the brackets are necessary and it still looks like the calipers are not in the correct placement for the rotors.

Ah, cool. So I guess this required different wheel spacers too. What about axle length?

Tom |
what kind of black on the swingarm & frame?
Not quite full gloss, not quite matte... i'm guessing Semi-gloss? |
