It's not that I don't respect the amount of work that's gone into the bike (although the rear suspension linkage looks a little corroded in the photos and there seems to be a pair of bar ends missing...), it's just that the 955s have never really done anything for me. Neutral

Nice paintwork detailing though. Thumbs Up

Now if that amount of dedication had been applied to a 675 Daytona... Drooling

The paint is definitely the best thing about that, impressive bit of work Thumbs Up

Stick the mirrors back on though, it's a bit daft trying to dress one up as a race bike.

Good eye craig, the bike needed to be sent to the mot people so the original linkage was refitted, the new 1 is black. Also R&G bar ends are being fitted when they arrive.
I know its not to everyones tastes but in person the bike has real presence and sounds amazing. Mirrors is something im looking into as we speak.
I fully recommend Altumura for any custom work or repairs that anyone has.
