The plan was to do something unique and maybe put a dual shock rear end on it -- however that looks to be more hassle than it will be worth, especially considering I have no bites on the trick JRI rear shock. I don't want to give things away, so plan be is to keep some of the nice stuff and come up with a KISS bike -- as in Keep It Simple Stupid!
Having sold the fancy wheels, some rearset parts, and the Falicon crank already, I've recouped 90% of my outlay to buy the bike ("included" is what came with what I purchased):
- Stock 2007 frame with title bought from Quebec. I'm hiding the hacksaw so I leave it alone. Yes the rear subframe is heavy, but I want to leave it unmolested. Unfortunately its the horrible burgundy color! At least it can be registered on the street when finished.
- Replacement engine -- they are plentiful on ebay -- depending on the year, a new loom and ECU might also be required, but that still needs to be confirmed.
- Versys swingarm -- what I have is rough, and might be cosmetically revived with a powdercoat.
- Stock wheels -- included.
- Galfer front rotors -- included
- Woodcraft rearsets -- included
- 636 forks with G20 cartridges -- included
- Exhaust system -- my Muzzy/Moto2 creation from way back -- included
- Tail section -- Catalyst Composites -- works with the stock subframe (need to purchase)
- Controls -- zx14 calipers and radial master -- included
- Triple clamps -- leaning towards a z1000 triple with renthal bars -- the upright position seems to suit me better, based on the KTM Duke experience!
- Tach and water temp -- already have a KOSO tach and the temp guage was included.
- Fuel tank -- got 2 with the purchase
Other:
Translogic quickshifter is included, but I am trying to sell it (but I'm not going to give it away)
RLR cylinder head -- I am sure it could be used with any ex650 engine up to 2016, but I'm not 100% sure. Hoping that a Supertwins racer across the pond wants it, but again I'm not going to give it away. Its a 0 mile unit, and if I end up with an earlier engine I might just keep it as, for some reason, the ex650 likes to drop valves.
Stay tuned.
