96' 900rr street build

[Lj Harp]

So here are some pictures of the process of my 900rr project.
Here is the start, I paid $1180 for it.


started trying some new things to make it look better.


wasn't to happy so I tried something else new.


The headlight had to go too so I came up with this



and after today I am now here, blaced out the motor, frame, and subframe. I also relocated the blinkers from the side of the fairing to inside the vents. Got some free faux carbon fiber levers.





Please let.me know what you think.

I have also run into another problem I put the rear wheel back on and now its locking up the proper spacers are in but when I tighten down the axle it seems like the brake mount is pressing against the bolts that hold the rotor in place locking the rear wheel up. I have no idea why this is happening now this is the fifth time I have taken off the rear wheel and the first time I have run into this situation

i think it looks good. i actually liked how you had the small belly pan on in the previous pictures you should put it on

[Justin(o)]

me too. where did that orange belly pan go?

Thank god for the suzuki tail. That's the single best aesthetic change on the bike.

Something still needs to be done with the upper fairing. Find a windscreen that fits and black it out, perhaps.

Definitely looks way better then it did. I like where this is going. I agree on the belly pan but don't keep it orange.

definitely

To be honest im not sure what I did with the belly pan ill have to try and locate it but im afraid I might have tossed it.

[Lj Harp]

Okay so I have little progress, or a lot depending on how you look at it but it runs again.

Here it is at my work.


Also justino said to leave the belly pan off. Its two individual pieces and is honestly a bigger pain than its worth.
Still have some work to do. Anyone know how to sync carbs that would like to instruct me as I do it?
Id really like to.learn and youtube came up with nothing.

Any help would be great or any advice on what to do next other than ride the piss out of it?

Plug/patch the holes in the front fairing. I'd like to see a bit of wind protection. A fly screen, something

Ill have to get with steve to see what I can muster up for that. Or where can I get fiberglass kits to make my own?

[Justin(o)]

What was the original application for that front fairing?
What year/model honda?

[Lj Harp]

I believe its a 05 Ducati 996 not sure id have to ask jason.

[Justin(o)]

ask jason, find a cheapo windshield (scratched is fine) and paint it.
