Be sure to let us know when shirts are ready for viewing, can I pick one up at the salt, running short, only have about a 1000 or so.

My Triumph has a three inch extension on the swing arm and it works very good.  It really helps on the street, maybe more than on the salt.

Might leave some room for your class.  Is 33 your number?

Uh, no.  My photoshop'er just grabbed a number and also left off 'MPS 750-F' class designation as well...  My # is yet to be determined.

Hi Duck

That really looks nice, like a Duc factory team rig.

My friend bought one of those Raymond Rousch road racers they made for the racers across the pond years ago and sent 3 here for sale and he ran it on the street, i built a neat little plate holder and tail light and for a 2 cyl it sure got with the program.

The workmanship on that bike was first class, trick castings etc plus the Desmo deal

Were the graphics inspired by the old Dustbin streamlined gran prix racers like this?  (or the silver/red 125cc world record endurance iteration?)

Is that an artists rendering or have you built the fairing?

Fairings were sponsored by CRC fairings out of the Netherlands.  First rate parts!  Much better quality than SharkSkinz brand.

Got a chance to build my subframe this weekend and get it outside for some photos.  Rear-sets are next and I've got to find a 749/999 fuel tank.  (Amongst ~1,000 other things...)

The red wheel stand is a 'Bike-Grab' supplied to us from www.lifts-and-stands.com

Works great!
