i'm going to finish this never ending project. today i adapted a custom tree to my new clamps ( bottom one i'm waiting the top clamp from the shop to be resized) and i mounted the new forks on the frame.
it looks ...beautifull.

forks are 43mm ohlins brakes and rotors are brembo . i got those parts from the official "Benelli team" competing in endurance races( one year or two ago in superbike also), i know a tech of them and i got those parts ( brand new) for a ridiculous price( forks , brakes , rotors , wheel , handle bars , and clamps for 1250.00 euros.
the pain was to fit the benelli steering clamps to my buell frame.

forks are "ohlins" brakes and rotors are "brembo" the new clamps and the wheel are "benelli" like the handle bars. the only important mod i did is a new custom made clamps's tree( axis) to adapt the bigger "benelli triples(clamps)to the buell frame. i know a technician at the "benelli race team" ( endurance and 1 or 2 years ago superbike also) who suggested me those parts and with his help i bought everything ( wheel , brakes , rotors , handle bars and forks ...all brand new) from the factory team for a ridiculous price....1250.00 euros. i think a good deal ....not easy built a racing front end with this budget . also brembo rotors are the race thicker type .
now the real difficult part is to start a diet to loose some kilos.
