Well...... It looks like you nearly stuck to our "pact", of no-more-bike-parts 🤔😜!!! Seriously though- NICE lookin' bike!!! I love the white wheels. We have very close to the same build. I did the "math" on mine a couple years ago- just north of $12K 🙄. Yours looks more like $13K+. After I did my "math", I was almost scared to take it to the track!!! I got over that rather quickly, and just enjoy it now 😎, and it looks like you will too. I just remind myself that I truly LOVE my bike. The only time you really "lose" the money is if you sell it. So in theory, just don't EVER sell it-

BTW: You may be able to add extra coverage on your insurance with all your "goodies". I added $6K in "accessory" coverage with Progressive, and It only added like $7/year. I took pictures of everything in case it ever gets stolen-

Well that's a good start. It's a great looking bike and the white wheels are the bomb. But I'm not sure about the 'yellow' shock. K Tech red isn't gonna do it either, maybe Penske blue? And there's room in the motor for something from Web or Wiseco.

Just trying to help...

 

 

Kidding, spot on!

I agree, those wheels do look real nice--just glad that I'm not the one that has to try to keep them clean. 😁

After a short ride with new chain my rear wheel looked grey when I got back from all the lube coming off 😑. Wiped them with a dry towel and it all came off without any cleaner, but yea I am going to be cleaning wheels a lot.

Play some good music to suit and it will be over in no time. And so rewarding!

I like the customized steel radiator pipes. But I can’t tell: did you paint them white or silver? Or are they chrome?

I just stripped the paint off and left them natural aluminum. 👍🏼

How do you have full access to the rear shock R+D adjuster and the bolt at the dog-bone with the hugger? Is it a customised hugger? @1tondriver Did you just cut the deflecter part off?

Yea I just took the dremel to it an cut the deflector part off as you mentioned. It was kind of a hack job on my part but worked out good.
