Sweet looking bike!
[drool]
write this up for the front page monster thing ;)
Beautiful, nicely done! Only thing that leaps out at me, is maybe lower the gauges...

Awesome bike. Gorgeous!
+1 on the gauges. I think the front fender come down maybe half an inch so it's a little closer to the tire. Seems like a big gap between the fender and tire. Was this on purpose?

Really gorgeous bike! [thumbsup]
One badass bike!!!! The Tron taillight would look cool also.
Can you elaborate more on the custome license plate? I want to do that! Everything else...i have no skill or knowledge to do it myself.
Looks even better in person. [bow_down]
Awesome!!
Wow, that looks amazing!
What tubing did you use for your master cylinders / reservoirs?
Great job!

Same here, gorgeous bike but I'm not feeling the current tail light. Well done tho and please forgive my nit-pickiness [beer]

Very nice! [thumbsup] [thumbsup] [thumbsup]
Wow. I admittedly doubted your vision on the way here but that is one bad ass and unique Moto right there. Kudos. Now ride the sh*t out of it!!!

that is absolutely the sh!t [drool]
i want those magnesium engine covers -- can i buy them? order them from you? will they fit my m900?
one question on the seat: i love the old-skool style, but why in vinyl and not leather?
That clutch is a work of art! I love how you can't see the basket/plate tabs like the normal dry clutches. Very curious to see what your dyno numbers are.

thanks BlackKat, i will look for the hyper. btw, showing my GF your bike right now, i think it's the best looking monster i've ever seen! did it start out as an S4R? absolutely baller. why is it that midwesterners do these italian bikes so well? (i'm living in NY now but i'm from Granville, OH.) I am going to try and contact the people who did your seat and see if they can do the same with my old stocker -- though i am in the midst of a love affair with my new sargent seat -- feels so good on my butt [laugh]
by the way, do you have an awesome machinist out there? i'm looking for someone to make me spacers and a fender bracket for my gixxer fork swap. would love to give my business to an ohio artisan! GO BUCKEYES!!!
p.s. that exhaust looks killer, love how the rearsets look custom made to almost flow into the can -- it really looks like a work of art, like it's all part of a sculpture conceived as one. unreal. and the paint job makes me want to **** [drool]
i dreamt about cycle cat rearsets last night. dear god i hope they get machined and shipped to me soon.

Got to see it in person at the open house...pics do not do it justice. See you Sat at the Mods & Rockers in Lakewood. Ducmon695 is bringing the 900SS....You guys will show them what NODT and DesmOhio can do [bow_down]!!!!!
Lovely machine here. But it doesnt strike me as a "cafe racer". I mean, if the post title never said it, I dont think Id even consider the notion. I like how some aspects echo shapes found on classic cafe's like the tail light, the passenger cap and the seat stitching. But the "W" shaped trellis frame tweaks it. Had you done a flat backed frame like: http://www.motographite.com/2011/09/radical-ducati-cafe-veloce.html (http://www.motographite.com/2011/09/radical-ducati-cafe-veloce.html)
it would read as more cafe like. But Im sure you already know this...
Your machine is really awesome and I mean not to crap on your hard work. Youve done a great build.

Love it. Great work!!! Good Luck in Cleveland you'd get my vote for best Italian Bike!!
I like the style of the Ducati Logo on the tail. Is there a name for that? I cant seem to find a decal like that anywhere online.

haha..I think the magnesium covers are still available. If not, you can get them off an 1100 Hyper..They will fit a 900.
I was told that the Hyper covers are not magnesium. They were just painted that color so people would think they were magnesium. I could be wrong, but think about it. There is no way a part that expensive would go on a stock bike like a Hyper. Maybe, just maybe some sort of R version of the superbike.
Love the bike. You guys are on a roll. Were you involved with Ducmon695's DesmOhio/Cycle Cat 900ss?

Cant stop looking at these pics. This is what I would call.... Hardcore Bike Porn [drool]
OMG! [drool]
post a video!!!! we want to ear it [thumbsup] [popcorn]
Where can you get those colored (blue) fork bolt caps (not sure what they're called) visible on the shot of the top triple. I've seen other colored versions of these but dont know where to get them.

Ohlins just come with them... unless you mean the adjusters?
I think I am talking about the adjusters. Sorry these are new to me. What is their function? Are they only for Ohlins?
Okay some quick research and I understand the function of preload adjusters although my 620 doesnt support preload this adjustment from what I can tell. But I think what I'm really looking for is anodized colored bolt caps for the forks. Basically what the preload adjusters sit on.
Love it! The exhaust is sooooo clean, so many nice details. [thumbsup]
...there's something wrong with your throttle cable ;)
oh, man!! [thumbsup] outstanding!!!
i really like the tail light and how it's mounted on that hoop. very cool! do you get light thru the side holes?
love the exhaust, too. i tried a single cone muffler on mine. 2.5" outlet. it looked way cool but was so freekin' loud i had to take it off. you'd better coast past the police station! ;D

I take it you won't be happy until you crack 100 ponies? [evil]

You bike looks spectacular!!
A few suggestions if I may:
re-route starter wire,
re-route oil line (Motard direct swap?),
relocate starter solenoid.

Oh, and I predict a Motogadget gauge by year's end. ;D

I'm trying to hide voltage rectifier (relocation mount) on a monster 1100 EVO...
Any idea?
Mike
like that a lot! [thumbsup] Looks great
super cool work dude!! [thumbsup]
Looks gorgeous!
If I have to pick on something, the seat ...
xxx
Good luck and merry Christmas!
Looking forward to the result.
Thanks Tony!
I know I keep saying it, but I'll post dyno results soon...Maybe I can email it to myself today and get the stock vs what I have done up...

Big valves
New valve guides
NCR Race Cams
Martin Brickman cast aluminum intake manifolds (4mm larger than stock)
NCR carbon fiber valve covers
All wrapped up in a box and ready to ship to Fast Frank for a little port matching and cutting of the valve seats!
I want that 100+ hp mark!
That should get you over the line no worries. How much bigger the new valves?
what happened to the pics?

He's modified all the content of his posts and deleted his account .
I suppose he didn't like my calling him out about his advertising for his employer/partner and not being a sponsor.
Never quite figured out where he stood at the business.
Some people just can't take a little criticism!
Personally I think the board a better place...... It was a good show though [popcorn]
