Looks amazing!

Regarding the advertising I'd leave it off. It looks cleaner without it.

How is the tank attached btw? Does the tank strap hold it on?

Thanks for the input guys, kinda leaning towards option number one. Not sure if I have the guts to go for it though...

@wedoo2 lol

@liPPy there are  a couple of steel hooks welded behind the steering stem and one on the frame in front of my electronics tray. A regular leather belt is hooked into them and holds the tank down. You can see them in the close up photos of my speedo/triple clamp.

When you say "my company", do you mean to say it's the company you own, or just who you work for?  I myself wouldn't just do it for free if it were the latter.

I also finally fixed the seat so it is parallel to the stripe. It's been bugging me for months.

Oh, company I own. No free advertising for just anybody :)

Ok just throwing it out there.  That bike almost looks like it's ready for the track.  You used the CR750 body fairing on there right?

Sweet, that's what I was/am going for, road legal track bike.

It's a re-popped 70's MV Agusta GP fairing. It came from Holland.

I like the direction your bike is heading in and there is a guy in my shop who is going to love your bike, I can picture him ordering the wheels now...

I'm freakin' LOVING the Viagra colours. You know what would be cool, is if the Viagra bikes were allowed to run in all of the races, using waaay way older bikes, only with some type of cheater fuel, like NITROUS or some such, and allowed to compete using unfair advantages on top of older technologies. Or, if they were allowed to stay out on the track longer with a bigger fuel tank, so that they don't win the race by coming in first, but they'd come in last and just keep going and going racking up the miles and "hugging the curves" really well. Maybe a Viagra bike could have truck balls under it ... I was just thinking about the mono-shock conversions over on my home forum, thinking about the way that people are putting mono-shock swingarms on the DOHC Honda fours and they often have the suspension linkage hanging down in the bike's crotch, I was thinking of how they need a bash plate of some sort, and I came up with the idea of putting some kind of silicone rubber guard over the front end of that link, so that the dog-bone links, aka the dog's wobblies, could have some kind of dildo tip wrapped over the shock link, maybe with some kind of curly wire all around the base of it so that dust and dirt stays out of the pivots - but yeah that would be far more suitable on the Viagra bikes. Just picture the link pivoting with every bump, the wheel goes bump and the link goes HUMP. So yeah, give the bike the right equipment, maybe hook that all up to some type of inflation equipment hooked up to the nitrous, and just go around and around the track long after the younger bikes have gone home. Ha ha. Oh, and maybe the Viagra bike could chase a Miata around the track, sniffing at it's exhaust. They might just go for that type of thing, it might be just the publicity they want. Lotsa money in those little blue pills you know. Used to be cigarettes funding racing. Now bigger and better funded drug companies Everything made from hemp type of crap. Cocaine would go for the supercar scene, meth would be into the funny cars, booze people could get in on the game with ethanol fueled racers, and beer would stick with Nascar. I suppose if it weren't for those kill-joys over at M.A.D.D. there'd be a lot more liquor companies funding stock-car racing, hey? If Pfizer doesn't make it with Viagra racing, maybe Purdue Pharma's Oxycontin could fund the smash-up derby? It's not like they're above dirty marketing tricks you know.

Dont be shy, go with that first logo... it looks great with it, the logo is very no nonsense and straightforward... just like the rest of the bike (as much as a CR replica ish bike can be hehe)

If your still having issues with temperature, nothing wrong with functional air scoops!

And I'm curious what kind of air filter you have on there now, its hard to see but it looks like a 2-1 type of thing... if so where did you find it?

Yeah, still sitting on the logo thing.

Temprature thing seems to be good after installing the oil cooler with Terry's adapter. The oil is way cleaner too with the BMW spin on filter I'm using. I changed the oil the other day and almost felt bad about it. The oil was coming out golden.

My filters are....





Unipods  :o

And with a bit of tuning I'm very impressed. Actually planning on getting her on the dyno this coming week.
