I finally got my bike, and most of the plastic was cracked. I ordered a set of carbon-fiber body work. Much nicer. I have to replace the chain, tires and gas lines. Here are some pictures:

The bike will be repainted in italian colors. Here is the first sketch. I didn't like it. I have decided to copy the new bimota, except do the gas tank in white and carbon.

The rotors were sandblasted and painted.

The headlights arrived from germany. The tailight from italy and the other tailight from usa.

I tested the headlight:

The headlights have angel eyes:

I must make a plate to mount the headlights properly out of carbon fiber.
