Progress pics.....

Hi all,

I have attached some random pics of the bike and various bits over the process of the two year build, just thought some of you may like to see it in pieces before i put up pics of it finished along with the dyno results.

Will post pics up of the finished bike next week when its clean and gleaming.

them there is big bug eyes.
what fairing are you putting on?
are you going for a high level front mudguard, like a multi?
can you post, suppliers of services and parts when you post final pictures?

No fairing going on, the lights are as they are.

Using the standard front mudguard, with a few inches chopped off and then re-painted (this has been done, just need to fit it)

I must have ordered from over 30 different suppliers, 6 different suppliers were sourced just for the NOS kit and necessary additions, (vacuum switch, nitrous gas, uprated plugs, uprated ignition coils, kit itself, arming switch on handlebars, firing switch on opposite side, both of which had to be made bespoke as the NOS kit was meant for a car). So, if people see bits they like and are interested its prob just best they ask and I'll let them know or I'll spend all night on here and most of the week!

I was talking paint and polish not realising you were insane and had added NOS.
Have you up rated the rear shock or at least the spring as the bike will want to wheelie, and at the same time squat on the rear suspension.

Everyone thinks I'm insane for the NOS, and they're probably right, if it makes me more sane I have added an adjustable boost valve to take the boost from an extra 10bhp to a max output of an extra 50bhp.

Rear suspension has been rebuilt courtesy of Powerstation in Tewkesbury, plus I have added wider renthal bars to allow a better weight distribution of bodyweight over the front (in other words to be really able to hunch over the tank).

Paint is all my own design and I used my CAD designers at work to electronically map the tank and gauge the lines and curves and then draw the artwork out for me so it wouldn't distort, I then had them do the same for my lid so that they match, sent the schematics off to our print department, had them cut the design out of exhibition grade vinyl and create a red legend around the flames, then had my set builders apply it to the tank and then had it all lacquered by 're-born to be wild' in Cheltenham.

The joy of having skilled people around me!

Yeah lights are def different, I'm not sure on them yet but do have a back-up plan if I decide I don't like them.

They are however incredible at night.

Very true, polishing is a bit like a galaxy chocolate bar, once you start it you have to keep going.

I want to see pics of the whole bike!

Have you thought of a 1098/848 headlight instead? or maybe Duc Streetfighter?

Full pics next week when all the re-painted plastics are back and fitted.

I havent made my mind up I dont like the headlights yet so not sure I will change them, if I do decide to eBay them I have a back up plan but wouldn't go with a Ducati front as I want it to be very different.

Can see why, not sure a fazer's fairing is known for its looks!

Zak why only od why not turbo and nos?

Just curious but how long a bottle of nos you will fit will last, how much to refill and finally how much for a nos setup.
