I reckon it looks cool. Needs a new front rim though to match the rear rim though. Also the tank seems a bit out of place to me. Just the wrong shape for the new look you are rocking.

Awwww thats awesum Bro!!
Going to be the bizzo when finished as you'll have all these folks coming up to you wondering what nice sounding Ducati your riding
Couple of tips Ive seen is that a CBR600 F2 tank can be fitted with a bit of fiddling & an square aluminium roasting pan can be modified to make a sexy chain guard
You can also make a raceier looking sprocket cover with a bit of imagination & large drill bits out of the stock one

rims are both stock, though the rear has a lot of soot on it which could make it look like they don't match I spose. Yeh reckon a sharper more angular tank would look the buisness with that setup, but I got a stock-ish cowl going on the back which will make it all flow a lot nicer.

Yeh have been keeping an eye out for an F2 tank, but they must be getting pretty rare. New chain cover will be done with a custom hugger. Yeh had thought about chucking it on the mill actually, maybe when I get round to reconditioning the engine, they look mint when powdercoated black but then so do most things

VFR Wheels (750/800 are close aren't they?) , twin front disc, and a littl ebit of side panel under the seat then

If you made a buell style exhaust then you could have just the seat "floating" out the back. Would look trick.

Weez all been looking at HawkGT.com aint we....

yeh lot of guys run vfr rims, some guys run cazzoria (or however the fuck you spell it)

the original exhaust come out about where the buell does anyway, well restrictive but some guys run short cans there too, not a fan of the look though, and need decent pipe lengths for good exhaust scavenging too.

hawkgtforum.com you mean? 647cc of salvation some ridiculously awesome shit on there, seeing what others can/have done motivates me to have a go at a lot of things I probably wouldn't have tried otherwise.

Yeah ,thats the one....some serious stuff there & fellas like J D Hord cleaning up in the AMA on his hotted Bros's against Duke 748"s
I regret in some ways selling my Bros,fantastic project bikes & just imagine if they'd kept making them

I reckon underseats the way to go with your exhaust as you'd prolly have clearnce issues, but you linkage would prolly solve that.

Heh that's cool. Love the Honda wing caliper mount hider

yeh it's definetely acheived cult-bike status, and then some! There's a few parts on there from J D Hord, may have to get him to ship a worked engine over for the next one.... One of the things about the bros is they don't make anything like it anymore, with your gixxers etc theres a new upgraded one every year, but buy one of these and it'll never get 'old'. Reckon you should buy another one and start modding

exhaust clearance will be pretty close, but think i'll just get a way with it :fingerscrossed:

got the idea from a guy who made his rear-sets in the same shape, which also look wicked.

[bogan]

A heap of effort has come to fruition! Approximately 8kg lost, with another 2 going when I get LiFePO4 ceels to replace the battery.

Heres a pic, which doesn't do the exhaust wrap justice, it looks way better IRL.



And here's a vid, idle only, but you get the idea



Rideable as is, but a bit of surging and I think richness in some parts, will tune the fuck out of it once I get my hands on a wideband O2 sensor.

Additional mods, and now christened the 'cylonbros'

Got a few small pics here, for higher res see my photobucket album





mod list now includes; cowl, tail light, removable (but tricky) tail tidy, tuned jetting, shorai battery (thanks edbear), tyre hugger, and some tidying up of the loom.

Looks fucking SICK haha, not sure about the front though, But im not a big fan of big mirrors and screens on naked bikes, bar end mirrors and no screen would look the shit IMO
