Awesome!

[RoyB]

Wow! as said awesome

[998gsb]

Stunning spec.... go on what was the bill...?

[Zhed44]

Now THAT'S a bike!

The spec list reads like a letter to Santa Claus. How much have you spent?

[testastretta998]

Come on Guys, its never about what you have spend, it`s always about what have got for your money It`s a little more than a 1098 but less than a sedici.

Visit a duc dealer and buy, for example, a 1098R straight out of the door is way to easy. When you have build something by your own hands, its always something special. Even when you have to source parts from all around the world two years long. Sometimes this is fun too- but only sometimes...

Maybe put some 748 decals on the fairing and enjoy the faces of the inline 4 literbike crowd. Thats the real value of this bike!

....is the right answer

[998gsb]

"A little more than a 1098" has to be THE understatement of the year!!!!!!

[955corsa]

Boy did you used to have a fat wallet! Making it your own is surely the way to go, no matter what the budget. Love the swingarm!

[jezjay]

leave it black... looks completely rude !!

[rcgbob44]

Always put 748 stickers on the side. Go have some fun.

[brillo748]

Great looking project, can't wait to see it painted! One question for you, I've just purchased a Translogic dash for my 748 and wondered how you had mounted yours?
Can't really see, but it looks as though it's fixed directly to the light pod?

Any help greatly appreciated, keep up the work, amazing.

What about a Frankie PSG-1 rep?

Hope this helps:



I have used a 996RS Carbon dash mounting bracket, and a coustom made 3mm strong carbon bracket to locate and center the "dash and switches unit" on the headlight pod.
To avoid vibration on the translogic all mountingpoints (exept the bracket/pod) are fit in rubber. I have put the control button from the translogic in the middle of the 996RS bracket and have switches for the datalogger and lambdasensor heating on the lhs and rhs of the dash.
