I'd like to say "i built it" but i didn't.... One of the chaps from JHP built it for the original owner. The conversion is an absolute nightmare though... rear cylinder manifold clouts the shock so that required manufacturing, the tank has had a new base fabricated to accommodate the 1098's airbox, airtubes are also a hybrid of 999 and 1098 items. I think? its a 999 loom as she still has the original dash but of course uses the 1098 ecu albeit a nemesis item, in fairness I've not really got to grips with it yet but when it comes time for a strip down i'll know ALL her secrets. I'ts great learning about the thing though!
Here is my Bostrom Rep, No 159. And another one after the putting the original fairing in bubbel plastic..
Hi I'm new, there's some gorgeous stuff on here. Here's my 996SPS, currently in for a belt service and MOT. Provided there are no expensive surprises she'll be getting a Sigma and a radial master cylinder as well.
normally i don't really like a black 916 but the pre season/test bike look is nice. nice looking bike. henk!!!
Nice looking SPS Got any more pictures of that uber-rare Yam R7 behind it?? I've never seen one of those in the flesh... cheers, Dom
Thanks for the comments guys. The pre-season look is just what I was after, but if I could get some natural finish gold Marchis I'd have a red '94 Foggy rep. The R7 is my old mans, he's had it about 10 years and it came with 147bhp at the back wheel, not bad for a 14 year old 750! It's the original engine with the second stage race kit plus a titanium Promotive full system. I've done a few track sessions on it, lovely and firm feeling chassis but weird and wide after a Duc, sounds (and goes) amazing at full chat but too loud for a lot of places so it mostly wears a baffled carbon can now. My dad is nearing 60, has ingrained mechanical sympathy from racing two strokes and doesn't have a spare crank, so although he regularly rides it on track he doesn't howl it past 15,000rpm everywhere and he's had no mechanical bother with it at all.
