She is pretty much complete. Still needs to be detailed and taken on some shake down runs.
These are the best pictures I can get because of the bad weather we have here.

Thanks for taking the time to reply to my build thread. 

Stev-o, if only the weather would cooperate!  It is killing me having this thing completed only to sit and await shake down rides.

I decided the lower faring needed a bit more to make it look period correct so I added the large decal like they did back in the 90's/  Thoughts?

I'm not real sure about the fairing decal . It looks unnecessary to me sitting below the tank one.
Maybe  a "750" and or one those yellow triangle type ones. Thats just my opinion. Regardless its a stunning bike.

^^ I hear you about looking unnecessary under the tank.  That is what I was looking to hear in a strange way.  My thought is this is supposed to be a 90’s style build with some modern bits and most things in the 90’s were Not necessary, ha ha.   I think the daring decal will stay for now.  Nice thing is I didn’t clear over the faring decal on purpose to give me the option. 

Thanks for taking the time to comment.

The extra decal is too repetitive. I love the Italian color scheme, reminds me of a bicycle i coated a few years ago. It's hanging in a pizza place in Atl. somewhere.
Maybe a 750 Sport decal made that fits the scheme on the fairing.

I’m not sure I care for the decal either. I would like to see a picture of the whole bike outside to make a final decision. It doesn’t look bad or ruin the bike that’s for sure.

Yeah..I need a "step back and look at it" shot.  It's a nice decal, and if it's at exactly the same angle as the one on the tank, it might look pretty cool, but if it's not..I'd take it off.  That of course is being extra, extra picky on a fantastic looking bike.  Sitting there staring at it in your shop is driving you to this, ya know, Tige.  LOL!

When you had the wheels powder coated, did you remove the rubber cushions from the rear?

I just opened this thread and have to say the bike is beautiful brother. Personally I'd take off the large decal and leave the tri-color pristine. ;) Really nice work. Who did the paint?

I'd take it either way! 

A guy up in Seattle who imports grey market bikes recently sold his 1992 Ducati 900ss (15K miles or so) with the half fairing in BLACK.  I think it went for $4,500 on eBay.

Thanks for all the replies fellas, haven't been back to this thread in some time.  Yes, I ride dirtbikes with "buck" often.  His 900 was a nice bike, if my garage wasn't already at capacity I would have added it.
