Dunno if racebike counts? It has a long list of mods (none too radical) AND none of the mods would prevent it from being streetable (except the exhaust and electrical system)

Don't think I've done the most but it's always a work in progress. Don't think it will ever be finished. http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l75/norried/Buel l/Buellceramiccoatedexhaust016.jpg?t=1165207634 Norrie. |

Norrie, is everything polished, or are some items chromed? Flyscreen surround? Frame? Swingarm? Pipes coated? |

Norrie, that is one gorgeous bike. Do I even want to know what kind of time/work was involved in a fame polishing/chroming like that? Actually, yes, I do |

Everything you see is polished apart from the pipes which are ceramic coated. I stripped the parts off my self and had them professionally polished apart from the frame which was done on the bike. I polished my last bike myself and it is a very time consuming and dirty job. Plus you never get as good a finish as they can as they have all the right tools. Norrie. |

Firebolteric_ma, Do your rear sets hit the primary?? I had a pal who bought those and they hit the primary under cornering. |

Yes it use to hit the primary. Sometimes still does. I filed alot of the material away to help. last winter I went through a "bling" stage. Did the bike in Rizoma parts as they are really nice quality and not many people around here have there stuff. I could be a rizoma poster child.... now I am in the same predicament...winter has set in around here and I have started to pull the bike apart. Doing the fork service this week. Got the rear tire off now for new rubber, and looking into how I wish to mount the nitrous bottles under the seat right now. will also be switching to a chain after christmas (wifes present to me) |
