**955SP** · 13 Jun 08, 01:15 AM

Mine is almost ready!!! Here are the extras that have been added--------->

Fork is an original Ohlins Superbike fork from a 1995/6 955 Corsa FG9550 with magnesium yokes.
Calipers are Brembo Monobloc superbike 1 piece, 4 pad with the trailing ti pistons
Discs are Brembo Corsa 320 for narrow track
Wheels are almost a one off. I got these from Rob at Pro Twins who persuaded marchesini to send him a set of magnesium narrow track wheels polished and unfinished and have been lacquered so are the original Magnesium colour, unlike the usual gold paint.

The engine is stock, but has magnesium valve covers, cam covers, slave cylinder, clutch housing and I have the mag engine cover though PRO TWINS pretty much refuse to fit it for me as they say it will last 5 minutes and just cause me a nightmare.
Carbon everything that could be including a corsa airbox with the removable inspection sides.

At the rear is the 'standard' swingarm

cause I cant seem to find a decent condtion Mag arm (from a Corsa) for the right money at the moment, or at all.
I have a ribbed Ohlins Corsa shock waiting to go on when the arm is found.
Not sure but I think the bike has a 54mm alloy system on it. Ti has to be on hte cards at some stage.

The bodywork and seat are all carbon fibre with the corsa nose with the bigger intakes but only has one light hole cut out and it has an Aussie headlight which does both beams.
We are just waiting for the tank to come back from painting. It is an original corsa carbon fibre flat top tank and is slightly wider than normal and doesn't dip in where the key usually goes. So the key slot for the ignition has been moved into the large vent on the side of the fairing so you just reach down and start it there.
Like this one which Foggy is so kindly modelling:-

Think thats about everything. When its all done I will post some more pics.
