building a complete custom hypermotard

[samizx7]

Hey guys

i would like to introduce myself. my name is sami and i am an owner of 2008 hypermotard.

my vision is making the bike light, flashy (already had many blacked out bikes), and much more of a supermoto.I own and race two aprilia sxv550 but looking for a street bike for me .

I want to build a custom bike, i have already tore down the bike to bare frame. below is the list of the mods

a-power coating
1- frame, subframe (candy red)
2- wheel (gold )
3- swingarm, triple tree, rear suspension (glossy black)
4- engine ( glossy black ) if i find a safe way to do it

b-anodizing
1- forks (candy red)
2- bolts (candy red)

c-exhaust
Termignoni Exhaust with shorten exhaust

d-rearset
woodcraft

e-bodywork
That is where i NEED HELP
1- tank (is there a way to made a smaller tank that does not extand to the subframe ??
2- should i use the CRF450 side panel
3- what headlight set up you guys like the most ( i like the hypermotard headlight but looking for somthing different


if you have any suggestion please let me know, i will post pictures as we go with the build

Smaller tank Actually, if you start a petition and get these guys and gals all worked up, maybe Chris from CA Cycle works will make you a smaller tank.

Check out this one NEW MID-SIZED Hyper gas tank!! (part II)

Bike looks good with no side panels.

Awe, you know that's not how it was done.....

Alex (08Hyper) worked real hard to have that tank happen. I won't get into the specifics (this site is rated PG-13, for family enjoyment), but it involved a few dinners (and Breakfasts ) in San Diego.

Why would you spend all that money on bling when the suspension needs reworked and the transmision is shit.

I have spent thousands on my 08 hyper s only to find the selector fork spring has come apart for the second time and has been munched into little pieces and been playing what can we f#$K up now.

I am on the fence now until the dealer sorts it out , ie new motor or bike.
If that doesnt happen its court time and look else where.

I hope the evo models fear a better fate

If I hadnt changed my oil between ducati service periods my bike would of ground to a halt who knows where

This is the third 08 hyper that has needed its cases split from our dealer

Enjoy your 08 hyper, no offence Alex

Maybe because our engines are upside down
