WOW! That thing is incredible! Very tastefully done. Except ( now this is strictly my opinion ) the front fender. I like how high it is mounted, but to me it looks too modern. But, then again so do the wheels, which I also like! I guess it is a mix of retro and modern, kind of like my bike, which is on a much lesser level. Just my 2 cents worth... Still a beautiful bike. What colors/graphics are you doing? Jevers
Transformation almost complete!
Pretty stoked about the way this thing is turning out!
Latest progress is getting the upper shock mounts relocated and getting some nice Fox Racing Shox installed for better ground clearance and rideability. Thus far I have done an XSR700 wheel swap putting me on 17" which will be ideal for the Twisties, and also front end swap while still retaining the original inner stansions and springs but using the XSR lowers to get the nice twin disc brake action and much better calipers. Additionally I have done the chain conversion and as far as power delivery it's definitely snappier but I've yet to find a way for the speedo to work properly as it does not work at all now. I'll probably do some sort of vapor gps style speedo. Got the exhaust from Dean Speed and it's an incredible sounding pipe for sure. Went with the K&N filter and replaced the stock footpegs with some ones off of a newer Tenere. The only real thing left is the tune which I have been assured is going to make a massive difference! From here it's just paint and a fresh seat cover and it's a completed build!
