My brother is an excellent photographer and offered to take some photos over the Holiday weekend.  This bike has been a year in the making, and I think that I am finally done...

  Not buying the 'I think I'm done' part. 

Sweet ride!

  what kind of gear are you wearing? (helmet, jacket, pants, and backpack) Just curious, it all looks like it fits well and the helmet has a nice low profile, non astronaut look. Bike looks good too! keep an eye out in the classifieds, I'm selling a ton of M750 parts and a Corbin seat dirt cheap...

Taking bets on what JJC will get sick of looking at first.


I'm betting the stock rear sets.

Pretty safe guess. Once I saw the difference Rizomas and Cyclecats made in the appearance over those chicken wings it was all over. Soon after, I couldn't help but notice how fugly the stock triples were compared to my new Rizoma rearsets...so then came the IMA's. Then my cheapo bikemaster bars looked god awful mounted on the IMA's and I *needed* LSL carbon bars...and levers...and billet cc cover..sprocket cover...and then...before I knew it I had spent 3X the value of the bike in billet bling.

Really wish someone had talked me out of all that, lol

The shiny forks. Black to match the frame.
And the stock seat.

Lovely bike as it is now though!

Yeah I am 5'-11" 150 lbs and struggled to find gear that fit me well.  Was either too big and bulky, or so small that my midriff would get exposed.  Went through 3 jackets and 2 pants before I found something that fit me perfectly.  Really happy with my gear:

Jacket: Joe Rocket Atomic 4.0
Pants: Alpinestars Street Cargo
Gloves: Cortech Scarab
Boots: Alpinestars Ridge
Helmet: Scorpion Exo 700 (debadged)
Backpack: REI Lookout 40 (perfect for motorcycling)

Let me know if you have any other questions about my gear.  I will definitely keep an eye out in the classified section for your thread...  What year M750 did you have?

Oh man you are just trying to test me    I'm at a point now though that any future modifications will have to be on the cheap.  My bike budget will be pretty dry for awhile.  A few thoughts that float through my head are maybe a seat cowl, powdercoating these fugly rear sets (you were pretty close), or maybe a self-made 2-1 header...  I go back and forth on these cored/chopped pipes.  Some days I love them, other days I would love some weight reduction.
