Hi all,

I am glad to present my last project to all of you...

The Bike I choosed as my project was first shown to German public in a Motorcycle-Magazine in 1990. A Guy had spend a lot of hours and money in this bike to do a very fine cafe Racer. I saw the article in 1990 and loved the bike imedeartly!!

Here is a pic of the bike in 1990:



In 1994 the bike crashed very hard and the guy parked the bike in a shed. He told me later that he had very serius injuries... In 2003 I got the chance to buy the bike - and I got it (via Ebay). Since then the bike parked in my shed...

That was my starting-Point:




Last Year I started to take the bike and build my personal "Ideal" RD. That was the plan:

Engine:

+4 mm Crank, CNC-Head, Wiseco-Pistons, Dry Clutch (Ducati), no Oilpump, Banshee sidecover (left) , Mikuni 30 TMX, V-Force3 Reeds, Billet waterpump, Big Cooler, Pipes Wiwa (German)

Chassis:

R6 Frontfork, Kern-Forkrbrace, OW01-Clip-ons, White-Power Steering damper, 320 Brembo Oro with radialpump in front, little Brembo-brake in the rear, Spoked-Wheels: front 2,5 with 110/80-18 / rear 3,5 with 140/70-18 BT45, FZ600 swingarm, White Power rear damper

Parts:

Alu-tank with aero-cap, Pingel, selfmade rear Seat, front Fender alu, Moto Gadget Clock, M-Lock RFID Ignition Lock , Zeeltronic, PVL Coil, Headlight Suzuki??, Selfmade rearsets, Mini-Cateye rear light, much titanium and alu screws, Rizoma Brake resevoirs,

The bike is almost ready now (have to sort out some electrics and the carb-settings next year)

I hope you enjoy my pics (click to make it big):












I had so much help from good friends and people all over the world - without them this bike wouldn t exist in this form!

Bye

Peter

Like the bike, thats what building bikes is all about, you see so many unfinished projects for sale that only look fit for spares making you wonder why people bother, then you get ones like yours which look right.
Spot on!

Great looking bike that fella!

Are the front indicators on the bar ends? And have you got any rear indicators?

Or are the bar ends just orange looking end caps only?

Hi all,

yes I am very proud of the bike - it is better than I dreamed about it before...

Yes the indicators are inside the bars... no rear ones.
