Still missing few little things, little tidying and a dyno tune. I have dyno next week so will see what it puts to the ground from the wheel. Trying to find some time do little break-in km:s before the real break-in/tune session next week in dyno. It sounds pretty wild whit the high comp pistons, ported head and cams. And love the RC8 main cylinder, Daytona 675 monoblock Nissins whit the Arashi 330mm discs on the 06 1000RR forks. And Öhlins rear shock

Thanks! Interesting to see how it performs in the dyno. It feels like it has more grunt even at lower revs but i'm waiting how the top end feels. But under 3500 it's even more dead then the stock bike. After that it starts to accelerate at slightest twist of throttle even in higher gears. Just having little trouble thinking what could i add/do to it next winter. Have pretty much done everything to it

I have been waiting to be able to put my bike up on this thread for awhile now. So I now finally get to do it.
Day 1
Original miles
Rebuilt Calipers
Frame and Sub-Frame
Stripped, Painted, and Polished Rear Wheel
Almost Whole Again
Little Details That Set The Bike Off
Done
Ohlin's Fork Decal
I am doing a full engine rebuild over the winter and sending the gauges off for an LED swap. I also have a few other little things left on my to do list but that will be for the build thread.

Long time no see.
Have been busy with family etc.
Last time, maybe 3 years back, posted a pic of my newly acquired 954 street:
Fooled around with it. Few crashes etc. but nothing serious. Got away with minor scratches for both, me and bike.
This July I had a bit more serious crash... was flying on an old airfield and got an epic tank slapper. Don`t remember cause of fall, but could be that triple clamp gave away. Spent few days in hospital with few fractures and an epic read rash.
Unfortunately bike was a write-off.
But just now got myself another 954, this time with fairings and relatively in stock trimming.
The bike has seen some better days in cosmetics, but it runs really smooth and good (not as good as my street tho..). Least to say that my wife is furious and on few occasions havent spoken with me for several days in a row
I`m planning to give it a cosmetic freshup, as also add some features, like better brakes (street had Brembo calipers and aftermarket master brake) etc.
Will see what will come out of this
