Did you post a build thread from the start , would be interesting to see some other details.

No thread from the beginning, sorry. But lots of pictures made from the beginning and I made some detail pictures this week and will make some more next tuesday. I will post some this week.
It all started with this one which we modified years earlier: shortened seat,widened wheels front and rear (18") , widened and braced stock swingarm, same ZRX forks, early Blade calipers on homemade brackets and ZZR1100 outer disc rings on homemade adapters. Front wheel was Z1300 (if I'm not mistaken) to get it to 18". VFR master cylinders and Blade switchgear.

A beauty - the rear brake Master cylinder actuation set up is very impressive.
If you have trouble with the clutch slave, which you prolly will with it being Ducati, then Oberon make much higher quality that will bolt straight on.

Thanks! That clutch slave has been on the bike since the beginning, luckily no problems there.
And that rear brake actuation.... glad you noticed it hahaha. It took us a while to get that figured out with the muffler, the frame tubes, the kickstarter shaft and the billet master. So we decided to ditch the kickstarter together with the shaft and make a new base plate where the kick start cover first was. On that cover we installed the master and the swivel point.

The rear Triumph brake caliper wasn't that nice to look at, so we cut and welded the caliper hanger to get it in the bottom position and then hid the brake line by guiding it through the swing arm from the existing hole in the rear to a new hole in the right side up front. Rubbers are on their way to be fitted in the holes.
Than we connected a new torque arm between the existing hole on top of the arm and the repositioned hole from the hanger.

That is neat and well thought out.

It's one of those installations where you look, cock your head and look again and think - someone really worked out the geometry plus thinking outside the box to use the kick-start space to good use
