Nice exhaust, would look great for the street with a bit of a belly pan as well.

What about wind protection from the front? getting something made up to around the tach etc. ?

[Carbon Imports]

yes, he's having a number board made up to go on the front, which will double as wind deflector ..

thats hot, but why choose a monster as a starting point...?

[Carbon Imports]

he's been running an 848 as a track/road bike and has had a couple of spills at the track, last one was not his fault, guy cut across in front of him, but he'd been thinking about BEARS for a while, then an M696 came up cheap, had been dropped, with minimal damage, so he figured it was good start and cheaper than his 848 if he drops it...

Great minds and all that buddy. Looking forward to seeing pictures of the finished product.

nice, the rearsets are a million dollar improvements over the harbour bridge the stock units doubles as

They're the Metaltech race units, made my an Italian company that makes rearsets and parts for the WSBK teams... seriously nice stuff, all folding footpegs & toe pieces on the shifter/brake pedals.. .. we supply them to a few guys running in the AUS SBK & Formula Extreme series too ..
