Great bike man but honestly, you should have just started with a motor and built it. Your going to change the forks which means new calipers so 20k (you can’t use the MS calipers in the SBK forks). I know we both like spending money but this after the forks will basically be a total ground up build.
Man I probably would have only saved $20k at very most, not an insignificant amount of money but also worth it to me to have this numbered 25 Anniversario 916 done up like this…I’m actually a fan of Foggy’s fierceness as a competitor, it’s Jordanesque, and I like that.
Lots of ground up builds out there, none like this, it’s a one of a kind bike, and all I’m in love with it.
This is my first sport bike not counting the Streetfighter V4S, and my first bike build, so it has a warm and fuzzy place with me.
Plus, I’ll do a ground up build eventually, including engine internals etc…but this is my first go around and it just sort of blossomed into being this much of a project a bit at a time.
As an aside, one can only chuckle at how much money you have in your bike after YEARS of doing this through what I imagine are multiple iterations, and that’s just cash, the TIME you’ve put into yours is what’s most impressive.
