If you need stuff translated from German to English let me know.
Lass mich wissen wenn du ne uebersetzung brauchst.
Ich bin in Deutschland aufgewachsen, bin aber schon seit 1974 in den Staaten, so mein Deutsch ist ein bisschen aus der Uebung.
Schon ne saubere Maschine die du da hast. Lass uns da mal mehr sehen.

@all: Yes the tail is from Yamaha R6.
@Kai: Du kannst ja mal die Umbauliste die ich in dem deutschen Thread geschrieben hab, übersetzen. Mein englisch ist im groben - für den Hausgebrauch - nicht schlecht, aber mit den technischen Wörtern der Motorradteile bin ich am Ende

@Kai: Kannst ja noch schreiben dass das Bike momentan bei einem Kumpel ist der noch ein paar Kleinigkeiten anpasst.
Werde nächstes Wochenend wohl die Kiste abholen, dann kann ich auch neue Bilder machen

Being fluent in both english and german I have to say that it will give you the gist of a text but some of the details literally get lost in translation.

Including the front light (what's the correct word ?) 810.- Euros.
With the stickers and colour the total amount was about 1300.- Euros
)must be something about 1000 Dollars)
And don't forget the work to get it fixed on the VTR

1300 Euros is closer to $1700 US, actually, but still. Gorgeous bike.

Brembo radial braking pump
rear fairing (rebuild by myself)
gilles rearsets
and some other small things
second picture is my bike on a racetrack this year in Poland

THX,
I didn't polish the swing arm on my own. In Germany you are not allowed to polish your suspension and frame parts. The TUV ( is something like a technical supervisor for all the street vehicles ) doesn't allow this, cause if you polish it yourself and it gets too hot, the weldings around ( sorry, no vocabulary...
) might break. So I gave it to a Costumizer, who compressed, polished and sealed it. So the weldings were not harmed and the polished surface won't get dull. Sounds complicated, but it's not too expensive. Did that to the swing arm, the forks ( upper side ), the rims and the exhausts... Costs about 400€ ( about 600$ ) altogether...

For the forkbridges, try this: www.bkg-motorradzubehoer.de
They are made for the Fireblade, but the VTR front frame is the same. So it fits without any trouble... Plug and Play...
