Is Hershey/Sand.Man still around? I assume he's still the mod. Would be cool to have an update.

 

I'm still around, I don't visit much anymore... Too much life on the go, blah blah blah!

I haven't registered or insured the bike yet, but I have taken it for a couple top secret stealth maiden voyage's. It rides great and runs real smooth, but it will benefit from a dyno tune next year.

Here's a video of the first time I fired it up, before a bit of carb tweaking:

Here's a pictorial update:

Let me know if the link doesn't work... My privacy settings are pretty strict.

 

the link works, and the progress is incredible! it's a shame that you had to hide all that work under fairings, but still awesome nonetheless. any other future plans for it?

 

Plans for the future are pretty minimal. I may consider a different tail, nothing you would see anywhere else (No F4i or RR tail... It would have to blend in really nice, which is hard to do with our bodywork and tank).

Aside from that, she's pretty much finished... I'll have to do the suspension at some point (springs and valving in the front) but that's nothing exciting. Oh, and paint. It will be painted eventually - but I mentioned that earlier in the thread.

 

hey hershey, the project looks great, quick question, you would have happened to have aquired a spare right side upper at any point would you? i happen to have the same pattern and need one

 

Negative, sorry. All my plastics are the originals.

 

thats what i figured based on how clean it is. well gorgeous bike man!

 

So is this bike finished or what?
