callison Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 Just playing around while waiting for my replacement porkchop to arrive. or If this were on the side of a breakfast cereal box... How many things can you spot on this bike that are not stock? (more at the bottom) Extending the Daytona fairing scheme, picture a V11 Sport in this livery... with this painit job... Nice possibility I think. Answers to the question. Well... it looks pretty much stock except for the frame paint. In fact, the frame is a 1996 Sport 1100i with the necessary changes to accommodate the V11 Sport swingarm. All of the suspension components are WP's, also from a Sport 1100i - which necessitated using the older style Brembo calipers (400mm) instead of the stock ones. It's a bastard V11 Sport, so it will be interesting to see how it handles with the extra 1 degree of rake but with the shorter trail of the V11 Sport instead of that of the Sport 1100i. Also notice the Dunwell Jacks V11 Sport adaptor for the hydraulic lift. I now have two lifts, the other has the adaptor for the California frames. Both work pretty well and just a whole bunch better than balancing the bikes on the standard hydralic ATV lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebulon Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 The "megola" got a beautifull aluminium swing arm why not fitting something like on Miss daytona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callison Posted September 18, 2004 Author Share Posted September 18, 2004 Money. I'm pretty much out of the stuff at this point. Nice though an aluminum swingarm would be, the bike would still be heavy enough to not benifit from a cost standpoint. Oz wheels would be a better choice for the money and I can't afford those either. Marchesini's are okay, this is just going to be a street bike tarted up a tad.

Paul Minnaert Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 So Carl, are you going to put the daytona fearing on, I like it. The daytona has a better wind protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callison Posted September 19, 2004 Author Share Posted September 19, 2004 The Daytona fairing is a go. I think there are still some lowers available as well, so I'll look into ordering them as well. I have the front sub-frame, headlight, windshield and mirrors as well, but brackets for the mirrors and the rear ears of the fairing will have to be fabricated as well as instrument mounts and the glove compartment lid, which is missing.
