Beautiful build! I might have missed it but is that front fender a custom build or did you buy it? I just have a hacked down stock one and that's a great look.

That's a cut down stock fender.

Yep, like GpzMod's writing - it's stock!

A couple of questions. I want to trim a stock front fender like yours, maybe slightly longer. How long is it forward of the forks, and how long rearward?

I've sent you a few PMs as well.

Hi! Sorry for not getting back to you, haven't kept track on the forum lately :( I will measure it as soon as possible (probably tomorrow) , we've just bought a house so we have all our stuff spread out between our current place and the new house :)

No problem, it's just nice to have a base reference if you can get one.

Did you find a top triple yet? Do you still have the original instrument cluster?

Made a quick sketch of the measurements, it's in mm. The triple tree that you found was perfect really, though had a hard time motivating the cost/benefit at this time with a house purchase going on (read: my better half was hard to convince hehe :P ) . Yes, I still got the original cluster, have all the original parts left.

Thanks, that will have to do. ;)

Does it have the LCD center gauges and is the outer case in good shape?

I could use it to rebuild mine.


Do you think you could get approval for a trade?

I'm loving your bike. Slightly similar to the direction I'd like to go with mine. I've been looking at similar speedos. How was hooking it up? I've been thinking about going with just a speedo and not using a tach, but that has everything in one housing, correct?

No it doesnt't have the lcd gauges but the outer case is decent. If you can use it we can trade =)
