some outside pics

Well, I have actually been riding the bike now for several weeks, and it's a lot of fun, she picks up speed very quickly, anything past 5 thousand rpm she just wants to go, have redlined her a few times just to see how she goes, and hit 150 km per hour on a stretch of road, nice and stable. So far so good, and lots of fun, needs a proper paint job for sure, but that will be done probably over the winter, right now I just want to ride.....

so here are a few crappy pics with the cell phone, I will take some better pictures soon.....

carbon fiber exhaust

Well I got some carbon fiber wrap, and got busy.....

no more LASER, now it's just Carbon Fiber.....

on to the pictures....
















.
Dressed

Well she is naked no more......her clothes are back on, and I even went for a small test run, only 7 kilometers, it started to rain....bummer

so overall she goes well, brakes are a bit soft, don't really grab, some buzzyness under certain rpm's not sure what that is all about going to have to figure it out, she pulls good and strong, can't over do it tires are not scrubbed in yet....

I have not put on the mid fairings, I don't have the mounting bolts and nuts and what not, have to still get those, so it's like she is wearing a very short skirt....LOL

I am happy....my work has put a smile on my face....

I will take some glamor shots once she is fully completed, but for now these will have to do.....

and a few more

just a few more...

Black.....

Well today the tins got PlastiDipped.....it's a cheap alternative to actual paint, it comes off, and for the time being it will do....

Have to let it dry, but in a few hours I will be able to get the tins back on, and she is ready to Rock and Roll....

of course I had to take some pictures...

First time outside

And a few shots of her outside since I started the rebuild

I feel like a proud dad, all over again.....LOL











.
Chain on......

Well I was able to get the chain on, and not only that but after it was all in place, I even took her for a test run......

WOW, WOW, WOW

Running like a brand new bike, everything works as it should, OK brakes are a bit soft, so I might have to bleed them a bit more and see if I can get any trapped air if it's in there...

The months of work really have paid off, and I am proud of myself, once again....

Can't wait to get her plated and scrub in the new tires and really give her a run.....

It's going to be a great summer

and of course a few pictures....
