One less Spanish import I have to pine over with no relief in sight.

Now, I wish we could have Susana Reche and Daniela Blume.... [evil]

I'm sure all 3 of those could be attained with enough $ but the radical stuff will probably be cheaper in short and long term ;D
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

First rad being built in the states  ;)

Just a mock up at the moment but won't take long to get done, I got these and figured I'd share.

999 tank is just a placeholder for the moment.

Nice. Seeing as that's a 4-valve motor (assuming S4R)...I'm guessing you can put a 748 motor in it? [evil]

      The motor that is in this bike is an 848 with a dry clutch and a 1040 big bore kit, but there are a few mods needed to make this engine and swingarm work. The 748/916/996 and the 749/999 and even the 1098 engine will fit with some small mods the the area of the cases where the swingarm pivot goes through the engine.
      These frames are really set up for the air cooled motors and monster style swingarms.

What wheels are those on the bike?

They look incredible.

What are the small mods needed?  Reboring the cases isn't really a "small mod".  I'm def interested in the frame now....can it be stamped with the ### of my choosing so I can ride it on the street?

Looks good, but how about an actual side shot instead of the "myspace" angles?

+1.   Are the mods required be that the pivot hole be moved to the 'upper' location on the crankcase 'ellipse' area from the 'lower' position used by the superbike crankcases?  And "width" shims since the bearings aren't in the cases like normal, but instead in the swingarm itself on those bikes?

I want to know about the feasibility of "moving" a pivot hole in the crankcases myself.
