I have to say I don’t get it… especially after all this time. I think there is a danger of it going a bit Carlos fandango red callipers and the like, are the tyres still in date….. each to their own.
Fair comment Andy. Yes, there is always the risk of that but aside from the PPF film, that really is it now for this bike. It has perhaps been teetering on the edge of overkill for some time (if not already over it). I've still got the OEM calipers, if I decide these ones start to offend me, as I always like the option to revert back. This thread has a sell by date, that much I realise and so the next few days will see my last posts, before I draw a line under the project.

I would like to of seen you put your efforts into a 916
Been there done that with a 998, 999, 1098, S4RS, 1199 & a 1299. Each very different bikes.

Despite spending the past 48 hours in bed, it's amazing what a packet of Paracetomol will do, long enough at least for me to finish off the brakes, namely the rear caliper. Anyhow here are what a likely to be the last few pics of this thread, as to all intents and purposes, the bike is now complete. Feel like I have turned my chest inside out coughing, so I am off back to bed. Bloody Covid.
All that is left is to torque up the rear wheel nut and replace the locking clip (not pictured). Whilst the rear caliper is not really visible from the left hand side of the bike, I am quite pleased with how it peeps out between the rear wheel spokes, though I accept this is entirely subjective.
Finally complete. Nothing left now but to ride it.......roll on Spring!!

Amazing pics of the bike, but I'm curious too about the background. Is that a garage or workspace of some sort? The floor, the wall hangings, all adds to the view.

It's my garage. Part of a build project when we moved to the new house. Took around 5 months to build (largely due to Covid delays)
Very sexy bike.

Having undergone open heart surgery and spinal surgery last year, I decided to treat myself to a new exhaust system. Had an hour to kill this morning so mocked up the D200 system on the bike with both silencer options. Angles may be off, as I lifted the system from another image, so it's not really representative of how it would actually look fitted, but for now it just gives me an idea of what to expect. I'm leaning towards the latter option. Still trying to find a way to integrate the rear bracket with the Evotech tail tidy, so I've approached a local engineering company for some guidance.
Current Set Up
"Standard" Termi silencers
"Ear Bleeders"

Just read this whole thread while my wife binge watched her tv show. Not a clue what the show was even about considering how jaw dropped I was seeing what you have done. Very impressed, The bike looks amazing. Nice touch with the magnesium frame color match looks very 916 as you mentioned .
I saw this post today on Reddit and here’s another option you can go with if you want to stick with termi exhaust. Thought it was pretty unique.

Also here is a clip of my current v4s setup with a spark full Ti system , the cans are stacked closer and shorter than the Akra type wheelbarrows , I too have ocd and didn’t like how they stuck out past the tail fairings . Also awaiting BST gloss carbon wheels to finish the build.
Ether way can’t go wrong with the one you mocked up above will look great as well!
Keep the post going! would love to see some outside sunlight shots showing off that frame color!

Low mount looks better than the Termis. Termi system look so clunky.

Are the tips symmetrical? The look a bit off center

Got eyes like an eagle! Yes during this video they were crooked , was the day I got it back from install and I’ve since then fixed them as best as I could.
