Well, here I’ll post some progress of my project. It will be soft transformation (nothing radical)....

As first, I took my M796 abs (y.2011)

 

[RogerG]

A bought some 2nd hand parts on ebay as manifold and plastics. Plastics were in really bad condition (some broke, some parts were misisng), but nothing that can’t be fixed

 

[RogerG]

Manifold, need for exhaust mount

 

[RogerG]

Change the air filter for K&N + air box was customized

 

[RogerG]

Then I get plastics back from repair

 

[RogerG]

And jolly business as a hand sanding started....
First with 240 sand paper on dry

 

[RogerG]

Put some primer on and first hand with wet sand paper (400-600-800)

 

[Neils400]

wow you're a quick worker!

Are you getting it sprayed or are you doing it with rattle cans?

Hope it all goes well! )

 

[RogerG]

Thank you, Neils400
Primary plan is to us plastidip in cans.....that’s more or less, because I am catching a WDW in Misano (4 weeks to go).....

Regards,
RogerG

In meanwhile, i took a bike to a friend, who works at Akrapovič, to change an exhaust system (no, it won’t be Akrapovič).....and some other parts will be customized.....

Pity the attachment code is farked up at the moment..

I am sure it might be exciting.

 

[RogerG]

@Shrek; I just noticed, that there is a problem with photo attachment. I was guessing that I might doing something wrong......! Don’t worry, it’s not done yet

Cheers,
RogerG

Handlebar is back on bike.....little modifications, because clip-ons would be too extreme.....
