Most excellant work there sir! Its going to turn out sweet indeed. Keep up the good work

Only thing that worries me is airflow for the radiator, but I'm no professional on things like that.

Other than that its a sweet little thing. I'm sure there are people on here that would love fairings like that on their SV...

For sure...shame the frame is bespoke and not the curvy original otherwise the fairing fabricated for this bike could be remade and sold on...unless of course the bespoke frame has the same dimensions and mounting points etc

I reckon it's the very attractive love child of a Daytona 675 and a Ducati 1098. Incredible attention to detail in this project, I reckon there would be a market for a kit of parts for people to make their own (like kit cars).

That looks beautiful. I agree it is also crying out for an underseat exhaust.

Oh and do hire YorkieChris. He is good with the spanners.

Ha, I'd love to have employees to help move things along faster, but they would have to pay themselves right now!

Got a bit of an update, as I have started to mold some panels.

Theres a new post on my blog at http://moto-rdesign.blogspot.com/

That looks like it is going to be stunning, i agree with the underseat exhaust idea. Do you have any ideas of what you have planned for the engine?

Im not really planning on doing much to that at all. May well have a modified/different airbox with air inlets from the nose of the bike but thats maybe it. More a case of re-packaging to centralise the mass and reduce the overall weight of the bike.

Looking good so far, although i reckon it does need a different swingarm most definatly.

Underseat exhaust would be good but its done now and it would just look too much like a ducati 1098/daytona 675 if it was to have one.
What would be cool though would be to have a combo of both underseat and side slung exhaust, a bit of inspiration from the gp bikes...
Something different would be cool with the exhuast, underseat is awesome, but maybe not for this one, but something unique is definatly needed
