The bike should be finished within the next week or two. Went with an Arata slip-on; Arata rear sets w/G-Craft reservior; Brembo billet clutch master cylinder; Brembo brake master cylinder; braided steel brake lines; lightened rear brake disk; Front forks reworked and Penske shock from Thermosman Suspension; Pair and flapper mod; Power commander w/ custom map; Clear alternatives integrated tail light (blue); Performance friction carbon metalic brake pads; 44 tooth Vortex rear sprocket; and Michelin Pilot Powers.
Still waiting on 06 Proton flushmounts, 320mm wave rotors, and a set of Marchesini forged magnesium rims.

palmer02 04-30-2006, 04:58 AM How long before its finished???
JoeRoke 04-30-2006, 06:30 AM Nice list you have going on. Are you goin powder coat the swing arm?
palmer02 04-30-2006, 06:40 AM More entrants for BOTM......
JoeRoke 04-30-2006, 06:47 AM To bad I won it last month... cause its being fully redone. (Well, once I am home long enough to put it back together)
Rice Burner 04-30-2006, 07:01 AM The bike is ready today. but I won't be able to get back to the shop until next Friday. The Marchesini magnesium rims won't be available until the end of May from what I understand.
About powder coating the swingarm - there was another thread with a blue/yellow 06 with the swingarm powder coated blue and i've seriously been thinking about looking into that when I'm having the rims put on.
JoeRoke 04-30-2006, 07:08 AM Now that will look hot RB!!
MetalScorpio 04-30-2006, 07:06 PM Nice project dude :)
but WHY 44 sprocket?
The_Doctor 04-30-2006, 07:14 PM 44/15 absolutely rocks!
JoeRoke 04-30-2006, 07:15 PM I just went from 45 to 44.. dont know what it feels like yet, but i will soon
Rice Burner 04-30-2006, 10:15 PM Nice project dude :)
but WHY 44 sprocket?
Went with the recommendation of my tuner on this.......In his opinion, going up teeth in the rear is better than dropping teeth in the front. I should add that I don't ride on the track, street only. He suggests that going up two teeth in the rear will not only allow the bike to pull harder but two up in the rear is not so extreem that it shouldn't really take any away from the top end.
I realize others have different opinions which is just fine too, but as I'm not a tuner I can't really debate dropping teeth in the front vs. going up teeth in the rear. However, the same guy has worked on the last three bikes of mine and I'm very satisfied with what he's done with them.
MetalScorpio 05-01-2006, 07:32 AM cool. with a 44 rear your bike should pull off the line like a bad out of hell. Good luck and hope to see the finish project soon ;)
wish i had the $,f*ck im jealous
Rice Burner 05-06-2006, 12:03 AM Some new photos. I'm going to be looking into other tag holders.

yep 44 is the way to go.. youll still pull nicely into the 180's with that setup.. w/o the 44 this bike is a pig in 5th and 6th. it doesnt have enough hp to pull the rev limiter in 6th so a 44 will be perfect. good luck..
simonkobejapan 05-06-2006, 08:59 AM looks cool!should get one of these next!(photo thanks to Paul!)

That does look sweet - where can I get something like that? I do know where I can get the caliper, but would need the carrier!
