Whats worrying is the time and effort gone into ruining it !

Surely at asome point with that sort of project youjust step back, take a look and think "What am I doing" and then stop! :oops:

I think you guys need to be a bit more open minded. i quite like what hes done. shows lots of inguenity. Not all sports have to look the same. the scale of work involved to do all those mods is huge. only when you try some of it do you realise how much work is needed. give the guy some kudos for doing a project of that scale. most sports end being discarded - at least this one is still going and operational. easy to critize when someone has never attempted anything like that. most guys only get as far as discussing what tyres to fit!!!!!

Not quite sure what to say. Maybe he's allowed to race in a class if he keeps the stock motor, tank, and frame. Other than that, he would be better off with a 748.

No doubt, a lot of work there. I'm just not sure why.

Hi,

Altough most parts are beautiful on their own and even beautiful on the bikes were they came from, where the "fit" to the rest of the design, this bike does not got one design or idea.

I'm like the TT1 frame but do not know to speak italian, what does it say?

Cheers Joep

I used the auto translate on google and it is interesting the translation is not quite perfect one could be cruel and say a little like the project bike
But seriously what it does show is how these bike have evovled out of the same DNA
I think its interesting but he must have got all the bits cheap otherwise it would just cost too much to do

as it`s my bike you´re referring to. It´s not even close to concours condition. It´s not even original in many details. I`d just like it to be in best possible condition for when it gets back on the road and I`d like to have all flaws eliminated.
I do like custom vehicles but I think it`s a tightrope walk when you start to modify the looks heavily specially when mixing parts from new vehicles with old ones. As a consequence all my changes are below the fairing.
I personally don´t mind the looks of the swingarm, fork and wheels on this Sport but the rear seat/fairing/exhaust is a no go. Imho same as the front fender.

Interesting btw that the pictures show two different swingarms and forks.
