Beautiful
Very nice work indeed.
In my humble opinion a few very small steps away from absolute perfection.
Powdercoat rear spring white or black probably white.
Replace red tailight lens with a clear one (maybee a red bulb inside)
Grips black and white instead of orange
Maybee anodize the sprocket and front rotor carrier black.
And Finally a black header wrap.
Those are just my little ideas but either way that thing is awesome already

I'm happy with the way it turned out. the only regret is that I didn't make a sticker for the front fender, looks kinda empty compared to the rest.
also the left numbre plate stickers doesn't allign properly, I couldn't paste em any other way so my guess is the printer screwed it up a bit. not gonne fuss about it too much since it took em long enough to send me my graphics and I only noticed they were out of allignment once I pasted em onto the plastics... might not be perfect but it's good enough. the right side worked out better.
I reworked the suspension for supermoto use and asked if they could fit a white spring, the problem was they didn't have to change the spring because it was ok for my weight so I didn't with changing it just for the colour.
the rear tyre is a goldspeed/maxxis street legal slick.

thanks, as far as reliability goes I'm aware it's a bit of a gamble with these new motors but I guess we'll have to wait and see. some of the horror stories I read on ktmtalk aren't helping keeping my mind at ease though :lol:
the wheels, rotor, sprocket, crashpads and caliper are all parts that came off my old bike. all the parts that fit on the older models are interchangeable and since I sold my bike as an enduro I was free to transfer parts, did help me to save some cash so I was able to upgrade the MC to a radial beringer and fit some other goodies.
I'm just happy I can finaly ride again, been 2 months since I last sat on a bike so I really needed my fix

you're right on that one, just went out for the first ride, headlight no worky :laughingr
I gotte say there's already a couple of things that need attention, my previous bike spoiled me in that way since that one ran flawless right from the start, not even the slightest issue.
let's see:
- it won't idle well which caused the engine to cut out sometimes, raised the idle rpm but now it seems to be running to high rpm wise with the choke on.
- speedo no worky sometimes, it doesn't get a clear signal from the magnet so I'm riding around with no speed or distance indication.
- still need to convert the speedo the 17", told the dealer to take care of it but I guess he forgot.
- already mentioned the headlight
- the rings around the forks need to go, on the old exc there was just a metal circlip around the bottom of the fork legs, now there's a big round plastic thingy around both legs that rubs against the tyre. won't take long before those fly off on their own.
- too much play on the throttle cable.
