Looks very nice.  [thumbsup]

But why change out to the heavy 3-spoke wheels (assuming they aren't magnesium given the color)? Seems the stock ones are better wheels and could have been painted??

 While the fairing does nothing for me the tank and seat sure do! Very nice job!

Knowing there's a weight difference, the left side of my brain prompts me to ask this question too, but to me the 3 spokers do look better.

Are those Radical Ducati seat, tank, & fairing?

Fair enough. I'd have put BSTs on it.  [evil]

Tank:   Modified 749/999
Seat:    My product.  It is wider, longer and higher at the back than the Radical seat.
Fairing: My product.  Modified 2000+ SS upper race fairing.

I will take better pictures (with decent light) over the weekend of all sides.  The bike was built for a retired Army Infantry general and thus the Infantry blue and gold color scheme.

Good eye! [thumbsup]  The 800 motor was replaced with a 1000DS.

I like the seat and tank, but there's something that doesnt appeal to me in regards with the front fairing and fender.  Fairing kind of makes the front of the bike look tall, and the fender doesn't flow with the tank/seat.  Blah to the wheels too.  Otherwise it looks great.  Just my personal opinion, but to each his own.

Great work!  [thumbsup]

Grrrly

I don't get the heavier wheels... and I don't understand going through all that and not upgrading the brakes.  Otherwise it looks nice on top, I like the Radical Duc look.

Awesome. I'm not a superfan of the front either. Kinda Kawasaki ninja-ish...
But overall the build looks wonderful.
If its still around can I make a request? Can you take a pic of the seating section with the fiberglass tail section removed? I am making a cafe tail and seat pan in a little bit and while I have a plan, I'm curious as to other possible solutions.
Did you do away with the seat lock? If so, how does the pan attach?
