I do question the use of off-the-shelf goldline calipers with such an otherwise over-the-top build, but whatevs.

 I got all excited at first glance, but then I saw they were just fork fairings [thumbsdown]  Who needs fork fairings? [puke]

indeed.   but its still neato and somehow the damper mounts thereto. or thereon. whatev.      also, neat seat.

it's nice paint and body work - but everything else is pretty run of the mill for this crowd. Ex-box, rizoma clutch cover and a steering damper. Dunno if I'd call it a build... Yeah I'm nit picking...

While I'm at it - WTF is with the rear stand. Looks like the found it after a few decades in a barn.
-Throttle's on the right, so are the brakes.  Good luck.

It has been a while since we've seen anything a little different.  I like it.  The paint job is cool. The seat is perfectly intergrated with the tank.   The tail is a little bit high and a little too short, but that has been the European custom street bike look for quite a while now.  [thumbsup]

I like it

it's original, fresh and still keeps some heritage.

I think if you look overall, it's a lowbudget build
the bodywork and tail frame chop are the biggest changes.
and the steering damper mounts to the fork, the fork fairing is just cut away there.
and the rear seat isn't that high, i think the 696 is higher. the angle is wierd do to shortness and being on the rear stand.

things I would have done different

PC the swingarm to match the frame.

Used a SF style shotgun exhaust.

silver rear spring

black center on rotors and clutch cover

hellfire headlight

and that's about it.

well unless you want to spend more money then i would have upgraded forks and brakes to 1198S units and rear caliper as well

I like everything about it... except the fork fairings.  In light of my position as a self-appointed judge of style over the internet... They are just silly.  Like "carbon-fiber look" vinyl wrap.  Possibly worse, since those fairings likely cost a penny or two.

I agree....I just wonder head on what those fork fairings look like, and that is the only think I am really on the fence about....and what they do for the owner if anything more than personal aesthetics...
