Not too sure.. but I would have to guess it would greatly reduce your gas mileage/acceleration ;)

Geez guys they are just wheel discs, rear  might even be a timing disc, they should weigh about 3 lbs or less per wheel.

A piece of billet to  make a front one would cost at least 400.00, then you have to machine it. :o

Here's an interesting 750.  I really like the color, and it has a unique look... maybe even a little inspiration of how to make an uncomfortable seat...

If anyone is interested, it is for sale:

Do like that eBay bike squirley!

The rake does look different spikey; could be another one but with racers being modified often this could be a different version of the same.

Great score on the color shot HT! I would expect nothing less from you.  8)

Talked to the "owner" at the bike show last year.... he assured me that it was the "original" bike....

For what it's worth, looks damn good even if it is a copy.

The micro-fairing on the headlight looks spiffy.

haha, I was looking everywhere for the oil tank (thinly disquised as a fender)... but no rear-sets?
I also dig the external front fork springs... cyclex sells a pair

Personally I think the e-bay 750 with a badly fitted Dresda or Rickman tank looks awful.
 Just because someone threw a couple of grand of paint at it doesn't make it a good bike.

Give me dimensions and send me the fender you want to use..... I'll do it.

i'm all about that. ive got 4 or 5 fenders out in the garage.  it can be raw. i'll spray it black when it's done.
how much would this cost me.  and do you need the fittings from my oil tank?
