Sweet, sweet, suuuuhh-weeeeet! Black and gold is a classic combination that never goes out of style.

OK, out with it: details, man, we need details.

That is by far the beefiest triple clamp I've ever seen. I want one.

I'm going to take a guess and say either WP or Wilbers shock and 900 'Blade forks. Am I close?

Love it..without searching I am going to ask where you got the full fairing. I really like it.

Also, did you powder coat the frame? If so, wondering on a general cost. Those are the 2 things I would like to do this year to mine.

Beautiful bike!

What's the story on those caliper brackets up front? They look like brackets for oversized rotors, but the rotors appear stock. It caught my eye because the calipers do not look like they line up correctly with the rotor. Is this just the angle of the photos or is something else going on?

Looks to me like they convert the 900RR caliper mount to the VTR calipers to allow them to work with the stock VTR wheel. At least that's what it looks like....

Except the calipers and rotors are both the same as the 900RR. ??? I'm still not sure why the brackets are necessary and it still looks like the calipers are not in the correct placement for the rotors.

Because it running spondon yokes that are wider than stock, the mounts are used to space the calipers back towards the disks, if you get my drift.

Ah, cool. So I guess this required different wheel spacers too. What about axle length?

not too sure, this set up was done when a bought the bike, looks like a genuine (honda?) part rather than a bespoke item.
