Not yet!
I have to put something on the gastank!
To day it's a bank holiday in Spain so I have time to work on the bike!
I'M gone spray some clearcoat on the yellow paint and work on the moulds for the rear part.

Looking great, can't wait to see her finished (for this season!)
The only Canary With Attitude that I think I know is Tweety Pie, how's that for a name?

For the rear of the bike I like the MV Augusta Dragster look.
I vent to the junk yard to search for rear lights and what I did like was the one from a Yamaha S-max scooter....

So I turn the S-max lamps upside down and fitted them on the raptor.
Now I have to make a new rear end in composite

I love the way you can go to a junkyard for inspiration, shows great initiative.

YOUR Tweety Pie could have its own Viking winged helmet, Ogri always wore it well!

I received the Ducati footrests to day and now I'm adapting them to the raptor.
I had to make a little support to fit the brake cylinder to the kit but it was quite easy.
The Ducati lever that goes from the brake pedal to the brake cylinder was good to use so I cut it off and used it.
Now I just have to weld a nut to the chasis to hold it on the bike

What model ducati rearstes are they?
Have you got them in position? Not sure if you're planing on track riding - but you might want them up a bit higher.

I've been traveling a few weeks but I'm back to the island again
I changed position to the taillights and I have put
a liquid reservoir mounted to the radiator.
I have to try the bike first to see how they goes and to se how much free distance there are to to the ground.
The footrests are from a 1098.

I'm going to try to do mine like this - make an aluminium plate to fit to the existing mounting points and bolt rearssets from an r6/gsxr to the plate - with multiple position options.

This last week's I have been working in Rotterdam but now I'm back with my bike!
I have made some small advances this weekend.
To day I was up to purge the front brakes and as the system was totally empty it's a bit messy to fill it up with liquid.
But I made a little invent!
I used the vacuum pump that I usually use for bagging de composite.
I conected the pump hose to the nipple that's on the calliper and started the pump 5 sek!
And that's it! It worked bloody well :woot:
