Ok, so I was going to do this to the greenframe, but my sponsor (wife) convinced me to leave it alone seeing it was finished finally.
So while her back was turned I did it to her SS. Opinions have been varied but i stress it's nothing that can't be undone in a weekend, and to be honest, I tend to take the Rhett Butler approach as in 'frankly my dear I don't give a damn' about what others think. Because I like it. :)
All the add ons are Ducati except for the Paioli Bimota forks and the Gazi shocks. It's all working together pretty well too so far. And it sounds great.

Nice bike.

Is your Green frame a REAL Green frame?

Cheers,

Nice, to the average observer your mods might go unnoticed, which is cool. Did you have to rotate the 8**/Monster swing arm to suit the right hand chain drive?

The Paso swingarm has been chopped and cut and machined and welded until there's not much left of it, and then turned upside down to suit the wheel as they aren't symmetrical to accommodate the chain.
There's a bit of sorting to do with the springs at each end as the forks were made to keep a Jap 1000 off the ground so they are too firm for the svelte bevel, and the shocks are too soft for my not so svelte bodily frame.
The brake carriers on the forks are being replaced as they weren't accurate enough to keep the brakes centered on the disc, and then it should be fine.
I reckon that I would be lost without bikes to play with.
