very good work Zipper!
only one thing that i don't really like, the front mudguard!
try to take an original enduro mudguard and cut it as the first motards
a little bit longer

i know what you mean.i have the enduro mudguard too but i dont like them..they become too "fatty".
i noticed that on the pics the mudguard looks bad...but " live" it looks better..believe me..i even removed the backwards of it to have more air flowing to engine head.
Thanks

Mmm..why not?

Look this XR650 http://www.vancouversupermoto.com/cms/files/image/VSM-XR650R-supermoto.jpg, I like it

Thats what im talking about...starting to look weird..very simple: you have new bikes and old bikes.You can not make a old bike look like a new bike or pick up a new bike and make it look old style without looking weird!!

Sorry Barte, but i dont like that 650R. i have seen it on Supermoto Junkie.XR-Italia haves much better taste BRP´s. If you take a good look you will find better looking and with less money spent BRP´s on XR-Italia.
I can modify my 600R forever but will never be a new bike.I can only make it look better on its own way: a vintage bike...

I like when a bike looks "strange"

..but I understand your point of view

Stainless steel pipe connector.Its not perfect but was a good price

What a difference..Bike is completely different.Still have some work to do.

Hi Zipper!

Your XR looks very very good

I think it would be better with the front rim painted in black as the rear one

gbking · Maggio 25, 2008, 21:46:02 PM

Great!

2 notes:

- front rim should be black!!!!

- exhaust muffler should 'loose' ktm mark!

zipper · Maggio 26, 2008, 00:56:37 AM

Yes. black rim would look a lot better for sure

And the KTM logo must dissapear too..
But now i have a big problem. At about 120kmh the steering starts shaking like hell. And turns above 80 kmh the steering starts to shake too a lot... scary shit..

any ideas could be the reason? $:-\$

Did you check front wheel assembly? Does it spin correctly or is it needed any weight to get it fine?

Or... did you correctly mount the triple clamps on the frame?
