 I won't go over all the bits and pieces, but here's the concept for the rebuild. |

Not a fan of the 1098 fairing. The other changes look good though.

About the fairing... Pull it in back towards the bike and maybe trim it a bit on the backside and the proportions will work better. I like where you are going with this. |

i have had guys reach back and grab my crotch in an attempt to get around me. i'll either blow in their ear or ask them politely to let go of my wang. |

looking good!
I would likewise pull the front fairing in, and reduce the amount of the fairing trailing behind the headlight both top and bottom.
A superbike front fender might alos be an easy touch

the bracket to mount it is from an 848 and is the stock distance. moving it back would require a whole new bracket... but is something i've thought about.
the backside would be trimmed once i've figure out how to mount the backside to the frame.
this is just the concept art. once i start mocking some parts up i'll get a better idea about alternatives.

I like the exhaust and the sort of titanium case color. Like others have mentioned, the fairing detracts from the elemental nature of the bike. I've been following your engine mod thread in the tech section. It seems to me that if you take lots of pictures you're going to have the makings of a good magazine article when you're done. You might be able to recover some of your costs that way. I think there are some authors here who might be able to give the magazine article idea a reality check. Never published a bloody thing myself, so I don't know much about what I'm talking about.

the case is magnesium. guess i'll have to defend the fairing a bit. I was very fond of the Supersports so when Ducati killed off the line... well you see where i'm going. thanks for the article idea. i'll try to keep better notes. |

I thought 900CR when i saw the pic
there was also an aftermarket front fairing that was cut higher at the bottom than the CR one....looked even better.

1098 fairing might work if the tank weren't so curvy, but that can't be helped. maybe find a way to get the fairing less pointy? not a fan of the all red frame, but that's prolly just me. like the pipes |

Like a monsterized Hailwood. Though, I'd add dual cone exhaust (one for each side) |
