Thanks for seeing that Flattop. I did work at lining things up in some kind of harmony, and rider comfort too. And I see what you mean. I will stick some tape on those corners for a while to look at and think about a trim. MikeV Yep. I think the bottom tail end of the fairing will get trimmed so the straight line on that frame rail will show up. |

Since no one else will take the mic…….. Got the brackets made to use Dzus fasteners for the fairing; figured out how to wiggle the 900 Paso big-bore 2-into-1 equal-length exhaust system in - it juuuuust squeezes in; attached hanger for the muffler after using heat and a blunt hammer to slim it down; and, found a convenient (lazy) place to put the rear brake reservoir. Standing back, it looks fine so far. The sad thing is that I went to talk to the guy running a small family-operated cycle business, been going there 17 years for tires, and they were GONE! Not even a sign on the door. I was there just last summer. I can’t stand the corporate chain with loud music, heavy ticky-tacky plasticky boots, and new people running it every time I drop in. Depressed me. MikeV Attachment: Attachment: Attachment: Attachment: Attachment: Attachment: Attachment:

Why anyone would want an exhaust like this to race a 900cc Paso is baffling to me. But there was a space of a few years when there was no 900SS. So I guess someone did. It is like a Chinese puzzle to install it in the Monster swingarm. MikeV |

I like the exhaust exit on the right side, I have been looking for one of those, it looks like I will have to try and fab one up for my pantah project. Well done Mike!! Paul |

Just pecking away now. Just needs a tach, minimal wiring and start switch, hook up the fuel, and paint the body parts. I think it will be fun. MikeV Attachment: Attachment: Attachment: Attachment:

The boredom from being trapped by the rain and ice storm here got me thinking. I have come to realize my soon-to be trackbike, now called the pregnant guppy, is lacking in a lot of the latest Moto GP bike technology. Sure, it has electronic ignition, and a semi-slipper clutch, but not much else. Then it hit me, it needs some aerodynamic help. And luck would be, I found this big plastic sharkfin in the road a while back. That, and a bit more from ebay has it ready for the season. In the spirit of pre-season testing, the bike has also been camouflaged to keep some secrets from prying eyes - like those pesky SV650 and 390 KTM riders. Normally I would post this on April 1st, but it is hard to keep some things secret for very long. MikeV Attachment: Attachment: Attachment: Attachment:
