Ordered some titanium goodies from Matt at Motowheels


And ordered some titanium screws from another shop.

Still waiting on redone rear shock and front forks......

Penske rear shock rebuild since the head seal is blown... Whoops.

Went up to the Ducati Triumph NY with the GF and bought a sweet Ducati waterproof bag and some Dainese swag.....

Trying to determine what simple yet elegant piece on CF or bling I can add to the bike without making it look cluttered or over done. Having a hard time finding unobtanium parts that go well and distinguish the bike more than it already is.

And yes I know BST's but they're $4K  :o

Couldn't sell my S4Rs BST's on here for $2200; sold them on eBay for $1,900.    :(

Wish they were the 7 spoke wheels and I would have asked you to set them aside for me. The price for wheels are just sooo expensive.....

I had completely forgotten that there are also 7-spoke versions!

I've been lusting after those  7 spoke since few have them and Mavic Assen wheels.....But both are nearly $4K. Thats another Monster 8) Wish I had never sold my OZ wheels but I needed to to buy an S4.

Ouch I bet eBay and PayPal took a nice chunk of that.

I might eventually sell my 5 Spoke BST's. Performance is great but it's just not the look I want. The 7 spoke is pretty sexy. Some forged Alum Wheels though is what I am leaning towards.

Cleaned up the clutch and added the new titanium black clutch spring covers, clutch springs and bolts.

With the new front forks with RaceTech springs and gold valves a new rear shock for my rebuilt Penske shock due to a blown head seal, biting the bullet and getting a Rexxer reflash/tune and Dyno run at Redline Performance. From what I've read, should make the bike preform much better.

Good lawd........Had to find this whole thread several pages back, it's been that long.

Well the bike is finally sorted, nothing left to do but buy another one in ANZ and start the process all over again. Not selling her, not wadding her up and definitely not thinking about changing anything off. Love riding it, love the feel and love the look. Sure some will disagree and its blasphemous for me to say project complete but I can't see myself doing anything more to her. With all the spare parts I have laying around, the for sale section will soon see some action for all those SSS owners.

The quick and dirty list:
Headlight - Motowheels LED
Brakes/Levers/Lines - 999 4pad/CRG Carbon Fiber (Thanks Monsterparts)/Spiegler Performance
Rotors - ABM
Forks - Showas with Racetech Forks/Valves
Steering Damper - Ohlins
Masters - 848
Fluid Reservoirs - Rizoma front and rear
Handle Bars - LSL
Mirros - Rizoma Lanesplitters
Gas Cap - NCR
Seat - Ducati Performance
Radiator Covers - Moto Corsa
Belt Covers - StradaFab
Exhaust - Titanium 2-in-1
Clutch - Speedymoto
Rearsets - Ducabike
Side Covers - DPM
Rear Spring - Penske
Rear Taillight - Moto Dynamics
Rear Wheel - 848

**Huge thanks to Randy@StradaFab/Ducpainter/Speeddog/Rude/Eye/Muskrat/Raux/Stopintime/Jeff@Monsterparts and everyone else on the DMF who gave me inspiration based on their creation, answered all of my stupid and inane questions. Now the pics.....

Cant remember how much I bought them from a DMF member from, but I know I snapped those things up quickly.
