Default New Build from ground up 1KRR

i dont get it. you tore down the bike and rebuilt it? or you painted the wheels, replaced the plastics and put new exhaust, levers, rear sets on? looks good either way

Long story short, I fell in love with the moviestar look long ago, bought a frame, motor, wiring harness, ecu, wheels, swingarm, forks, triples, headlight assembly, well you get the idea, and put it together. So I got a wild hair in my *** and wanted to post a few pics. Thought you guys might enjoy, I know I always like seeing new bikes. Thanks for the compliment.

Belly nice.

Do non-riders ask you why you spelled "Moviestar" wrong?

Moto777 Ebay &lt; tried this no bueno, saw a few others who had nightmares trying ebay dealers. So I dug deep enough and contacted a friend who does good replica work for privateers.

I Fell in love with the look when I first saw it. It's not as high pitched as a D&D or ladybird, more throaty heavy sounding, very happy with it.
