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:

Well project CX2 continues. I have been replacing hardware. All rusted parts are being sandblasted and repainted. Here is the rear brake getting ready for paint and the gold rk chain:

The clutch level and grip got replaced by a crg gp clutch and some pro-grips:

The front brake cylinder will be replaced by a brembo 16 x 18 radial maser cylinder made for a single disc:

The rear end got the brake caliper holder anodized in blue, sprocket carrier anodized in red, sproket done in gold. Brake pads look old, so I m going to replace them.

The wheels can not be changed so I have been photoshopping painting ideals. Which one do you like?

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 brake pads were changed. I had a hard time finding front pads until I realised they are used on over 20 different bikes.

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.

I have to cut out hole in the body to fit the tailights. Right now I put a piece of tape to hold the tailight for the pictures. There will be 2 tailights:
