This one really has that mystery-bike vibe. Love it.
This one’s a bit over the top, so I don’t use it with this tank.
I remade the tank bracket too. The one I made a while back was disappointing.
Looks like I’m making some progress.
The other day I saw a customer’s bike with black and white lettering—really nice. I copied it right away.
Numbers 1 through 4 are stack switches.
The lever holder is on order from Gale Speed.
The oil cooler is NCR, made for Ducati.
The mounting is simple and floating. If there’s a place where bolts can be removed, I think you should avoid drilling into the frame just for convenience.
With beautiful welds and excellent components, you’d still be happy five or ten years down the road, but a rush job will lead to regret.
Riding a bike with all kinds of custom work isn’t easy, I think.
There’s no need to stop it from the direction of travel either.
This isn’t actually a hose—it’s a pipe. The mounting isn’t that hard. What matters is balancing beautiful layout with serviceability, including head cover removal. I always struggle with where to put the emphasis on these things.
So it’s pretty much done.
Tire change, oil change, and maintenance are still left to do, but will I get the inspection done this month?
Thanks for your hard work!
