Thanks guys. I'm looking forward to seeing Dandanfings' when it's finished...

[Dandanfings]

Well its 99% finished.... but no decals on it yet as i am waiting for a bracket to install the flyscreen, once thats installed the decals will go on.
Its Pearl White and carbon fiber, i would show pictures but my phone ran out of battery when it was finished.

A few notes though.


The Chinese panels are actually good quality for copy's, but the air vents arent as good as originals, so just reuse the stock ones as they fit perfect.

The plastic is slightly thicker than OEM and requires some persuasion (file or dremel) to fit.

Funnily enough the carbon center tank section is thinner than stock.


The bike does look utterly stunning, the bronze frame and gold brembos really make it stand out over the standard models.

[Dandanfings]

Well no decals yet.

Looking good! When you say the panels needed a bit off persuasion, what kind of mods were needed?

Mostly this :cens:
Chinese panels are thicker, they click in place but require some forceful holding while screwing in.
The rear seat was the same, it doesnt just slide in like the original, have to gently screw in each side.

Does look good though, the white has a pearl effect with red and blue speckles.

Looking very nice, where did you get the panels from?

I really like that blue/silver colour combination with the old skool logo's

very retro and cool

Ebay, had to search international as the seller doesnt list on the uk nor does he advertise shipping to the uk.

...just old???

I can never make up my mind which I prefer on my racer.

I do like the white on the later bikes though and as I have an early(ish) 900 I have to agree about the gold frame looking lovely.
