999 The 749/999 Gallery.

It’s a pretty bike for sure.

 

Out of interest, why is the starter switch on the left hand bar?

 

I honestly have no idea. I didn't ask the vendor when I should have.

 

Just asking as when I bought my 749 trackbike many years ago it also had the starter switch on the left.
I couldn’t work out why it was there so I moved it back to the right bar and it’s been there ever since.

 

Just a guess, but as most tracks are right hander heavy, to minimise damage in an off? Or to allow more space to place front brake lever exactly where you want it.

 

Here's my 999R:

 

Nah, it's the showroom at Pro Twins. My cave shall look 10x better

My 749R

 

Very nice!

 

@Hedge, interesting setup with the tail on your lovely bike: integrated exhaust shroud like an RS but OEM seat, and the lil' infill panels under the seat.

 

I recognise that chair and those legs, also known as the torture chair for signing up their victims...hence why it's in red material.

 

Exactly that. It's a custom unit made of two CF pieces, replicating the RS seat but accommodating the standard seat unit. It's been done exquisitely. Was subbed out by Pro Twins to some place, can't recall the name.

When the zorst was fitted, it had a Power Commander too plus a custom map. It's been dyno'd by HM Racing, Orpington. It made 160.02 bhp, which is staggering for a 999.

Oh & it's just arrived.

Cheers,
Hedge

 

Roll on summer ☀️
