Congrats! DP camshafts and ECU on this bike kick ass, you gonna do any mods to it which mods are you gonna do to it?

Yeah, the cams are definitely on the list.

The first thing I'll be adding though is a lot of miles.   

I'm also eyeballing some sweet carbon fiber bits.  A cf bar, top tank panel, and front fender will probably be first.

I also saw a carbon fiber taillight/turnsignal replacement that looks really sweet.  Let me see if I can find a pic.

Here it is.  I'm not sure how it would look with my exhaust though.  I'll have to look for some more pics and spend some time staring at my bike and trying to picture it.

This is tempting me even more to get one.  I've really been thinking a lot about this for my next bike and now there is the .99% financing option. Man!...tempting.

Here're a couple of quick pics from last night.  This was when I was putting it in my truck at a loading dock that I found at an old bike dealership after looking for a suitable location for half an hour and deciding to use a stone wall in the back yard of a church.

Hey wait a minute!!!  Is that a single-sided swingarm??!!  And a 2-into-1 exhaust!!??  What happened to your obsession with mirror-plane symmetry???   

Beautiful bike!!!       

You'll probably never need another front tire.     

(Now stop sending me pics of babies!!)

I know man.  Jobu already asked me how long it was gonna take for me to figure out a way to convert it to a double-sided swingarm.

hi Rameses,                 love the back light no plate combo,where did you purchase it.

I picked it up in Knoxville.

I bought it from a guy named Dan who had it listed on Ducati.ms.  He also has a BMW R1200RT that he puts a lot more miles on than he did the Hyper.  His Beemer's a couple of years old and he's looking at trading it in on a new RT, so he wanted to unload the Duc.

Okay, I made it 4 days before I did anything to it.

Yesterday afternoon I peeled all of the frame stickers off and painted the front fender supports.

You can see them unpainted in this pic.  They're the raw aluminum rods running parallel to the fork sliders.






Here they are blacked out.  I think they look better.






And I just bought some carbon fiber belt covers.
