whoa.

Mike it looks like you have been busy!!! I guess that I should stay home next years Corse Superbikes show in Millaukee if you show I won't be taking best monster.

Looks good!!!!

S4duc

they didn't have the show this year. i don't know if they will next year either.
thanks. it took some time and $ but i really like it.
it's light, 368lbs, and runs strong too.

Is assume that is custom exhaust? If so who made it for you? Thanks

Who makes and where did you get the vented clutch cover???

the exhaust is a Sil-Motor 2 into 1. i got it from FBF. it came with a big honking oval c/f can. i ditched that and found the Termi can on e-bay. the only thing custom about it is the heel guard. that was a piece i saw laying around at Corse SBK. no one knew what it was for but it works nicely. i did re-bend the mid pipe a little to tuck it in closer to the tailsection. this was done old school, brute strength and ignorance style with a torch and long piece of pipe. it works great. the sound is intoxicating.
the clutch cover is made by P-Moto. also an e-bay find.

Nice.

very well done and those rims, i have a set on my S4. your bikes picture is posted on Carrozzeria web site and that picture and how good the rims looked on your bike sold me on buying a set of rims from Carrozzeria.

did i say nice bike?

here is a picture of my bike with the Carrozzeria rims.

thanks for the comments. the wheels rock. i was one of his 1st e-bay buyers. i paid 700 bucks! they are super light and i love how they look. i was going to powder coat them white this winter but once i striped them (.50 worth of red plumbers tape) i decided to stay with black. your s-4 looks cool. i was going to go with the "no sidecover" look until my original tank leaked and stained my frame pretty bad. the covers hide it. i will be getting my new (free from DNA after many e-mails) repainted with period specific (1995) logo's.

<FONT SIZE="4">WOW</FONT>, seven hundred! what a steal. i paid a bit more but still a deal i thought for forged aluminum.

they were a deal. he had like zero feedback and his english was not so good. i was a little concerned about paypaling all that cash but he came thru in spades. 2 other local guys bought wheels right after i did for about the same$. what rear sprocket did you have to use? on mine i ended up with an '03 Kaw, zx6r sprocket. that was the only somewhat "hokey" part about them. i couldn't use a Duc specific sprocket. it went right on though and the parts are available everywhere.

my rims came ready to go on the bike, sprocket and all. i think that the sprockets should be the same, just your bearings and spacers should be different. useing the kawasaki sprocket is a good idea, easy to find and cheep to buy.
