This bike was part of a package deal. The bike you see here and another bike with no motor but everthing there, (although as little rough). The deal also included
a pickup bed and a half full of parts. The bikes do have titles. There are enough
parts there to be able to put together 3 complete motors minus chambers. There
are several sets of barrels and each one has been ported differently from mild to
wild, street to track. 5 sets of heads with only one being milled. There are 6 sets of
carbs. 4 VM28's, (with one set of individual carbs) 1 pair of 36.5mm Mikuni's, and
one set of 41mm Delorto's. There is tons of body work (not in the best shape, but
repairable and usable) including a TZ replica fairing. There are 3 sets of pipes
including 2 toomys and 1 unknown. Also a lot more various parts.
The bike you see here was extensivley modified. It has Marchesini wheels, a
combination of Brembo & Grimeca brakes, Yamaha OWO1 forks, Calfab
swingarm, Toomy pipes & battery box, triple clamps of unknown origin (but
definatly not stock), Ohlins shock, port work, Scitsu tach, Daytona temp. gauge,
Tomesselli clip ons, ? steering damper, ? rear sets, etc. The gas tank has been
modified by adding a vent and replacing the gas cap with a flush one from a boat.
Almost everything has been safety wired. The frame has been beefed up by
removing the braces from the down tube and the backbone and replacing it with a
longer one and joining them with a piece of sheet metal. I have no idea who has
done the porting but there is a large "N" on the barrels. (If anyone can identlfy the
insignia please let me know).
Future plans for this bike will be a complete tear down over the winter, new paint
& powder coat and the addition of a cowling & headlights from an early model
KTM Duke (which I think goes pretty well with the angularity of the tank, etc.) It's
going to be somewhat of a cross between a road racer & street fighter. I got all
this stuff for the cost of $3000 and a few beers. I couldn't pass this up!
Cheers
