you´ve already seen the best parts

The bodywork is not painted and the tank is only primered. Talk about inner values

Ben710 · #43 (**permalink**) 05-22-2009, 10:11 PM

dropped it at the engine guy a few hours ago. He´s gonna do the mapping now. I´ll pick it up on Wednesday evening. Can´t wait to finally ride it. Yes, it feels like it´s been apart forever.

Mark my words: I will never ever again tear that thing apart at the beginning of the season.

I got it! It´s ready! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

This is my photoshop paint job. Will do it after I rode the wheels off it.

Better pix later

Cool but your pics suck Ben.

Did you ever source a mag swingarm?

Oh and more pics...............

Ben710 · #48 (**permalink**) 05-28-2009, 07:00 AM

No I didn´t. Some guy from the UK offered me a fuel tank and a mag swingarm, but I passed on it. I have a few more years to build that bike anyway, so I am not in a hurry.

I´ll take the EOS with me later and snap some pictures.

WOOT! I like it as is! Just throw some mesh on the fairing vents by the frame and ditch the mirrors

(I'm a sucker for white these days). What happened to the black kickstand?

Holy license plate btw

Ben710 · #52 (**permalink**) 05-29-2009, 07:36 AM

Thanks dude

I will definitely paint it when the weather turns shit.

The black kickstand sits in the basement. I have to order a sidestand switch, since the old one was vaporized a crsh the previous owner had with - well "the bike" wouldn´t be right... I guess with the former bike...

So I put on another kickstand I had here.

Yesterday I did 360km. I think when I get back from university today I´ll do another 100. And tomorrow, whooaaaa tomorrow... don´t get me started

Sure, come over. OR (att.: better idea!) ship me and the bike to the states, I just need a couch and twisty roads and racing. That´s it!

Gorgeous bike, makes me wish I had time, money and a nice garage to start & finish a project like yours....btw what ever happened to the new Arrow's you had?

Ben710 · #57 (**permalink**) 06-29-2009, 08:32 AM

Hey mate, thanks for your comment

I sold the Arrows again because I went to the 50mm termignoni full system.

There's a guy in Germany shaping surfboards?

or did you ship them to California?

BTW I love Termignoni's, so much so it's the only carbon exhaust I'd want on my RC, Sato isn't bad but I prefer the Ti or Aluminium look.

Ben710 · #59 (**permalink**) 06-29-2009, 09:41 PM

Yeah, they´re actually quite high quality boards as I learned. Mainly windsurfing of course, not proper wave bashing

I still need paint, but then I´d rather ride then risk my life in a paint booth again at the moment.

Man, I am drooling over your pipes and forks
