She is now TRACK READY!!!
The paint went on well, although not without complications... Apparently Rustolium professional paint isn't compatible with Rustolium Gloss Enamel, had to repaint all of it after the paint developed a wrinkle finish 5 minutes after spraying all the pieces... Left the clear coat off this time, went with a good medium cutting compound from Mcguires that works well enough.
So here is the rundown:
Rebuilt valved and sprung 916 front end
999 Radial front brake master
998 clutch master
XRAC sintered front brake pads
Michelin power one competition compound tires
99+ rear shock (raised the ride height about an inch, suspension guy said its perfect)
Sharkskins front fairing without headlight cutout
Ca-cycleworks coils (yet to be installed)
39mm FCR's
5.5" rear wheel
underslung rear brake
New front and rear brake and clutch lines in blue
Woodcraft rear sets
Full Ohlins and possibly a 1000DS engine are in the works for next year
