This is a resto-mod not a restoration because the bike came to me as an odd collection of parts and I prefer to make changes to make it how I would like it
Currently looking at black frame with satin black components (probably cerakote) and black bodywork with some candy red dropped into the paint. I will most likely have dark candy / cherry red wheels as well.
I would like the 5 spoke wheels but its easy in a project to constantly buy new, more trick parts and never actually get enough money together to complete the thing. This Monster has been in my garage for 10 years now!
Currently I'm going with the following spec from front to back;
916 forks re-valved by Maxton
Remote reservoir rear shock from Maxton
Sport classic front mudguard
Headlight lowered 25mm, no chrome and carbon back
Braided hoses
Brembo radial MC's with smoked pots
Fatbars
Mikuni TDMR 40mm faltslide carbs
Ignitec ignition for 900ie engine in carbed bike
MWR airbox lid air filter
CCW coil upgrade
Exact Fit starter cables
Alcantara seat
LED tail light
Original style smoked indicators
RoadRacing tail tidy (uncut)
Renthall sprockets
Oil cooler cover in SS
Hypermotard oil lines (both up one side)
Swingarm / spindles caps in grey alloy (German from memory)
Silmotor 45mm headers and 2/3 length oval carbon cans (SP Engineering)
Hoop extenders
Centre stand
Givi rack kit (not to be kept on bike) and tank bag
Things I'm looking for;
888 hugger
Floating rear brake
RoadRacing front brake scoops
Stuff to spend more cash on;
Paint
Powder coat
Cerakote
Plating
Fiddly parts
Something I'm considering;
Taking front discs apart and coating carriers and then rebuilding with new bobbins
