    Doing this project for a customer on the East coast.

    brand new 2012 RSV4R in black

    adding
    Catalyst Bodywork
    Leo Vince full system
    Race Mapping
    Ohlins cartridge kit for the Sachs (just arrived in USA)
    Ohlins TTX shock Gen 2
    Ohlins damper
    520 chain kit
    Rizoma rearsets with a GP shift mod
    GB case guards -- both sides
    Graves framesliders
    safety wire, coolant flush

    got it all torn down, and have been working on the build back up the past few days. I weighed it completely stock with battery (no gas), and passenger pegs, and it weighed 446 lbs. Curious to what it will weigh when we are done.



    some pics....I forgot to take a picture all-stock, but here they are:

      That's a LuiMoto seat cover. I have one and love it. I have noticed my Red stitching has started to fade a bit though.

      Ta, I would be a bit worried about the white fading or getting dirty too easily.

      Ill look into one, looks great!

      Very Nice!!! Nice pics too. I'm starting with a 2012 RSV4 Factory and have thus far added a Graves (cat eliminator) titanium with CF wrapped (silencer)(if you can call it that, heheh), and am waiting for the arrival of: factory race ecu, Light Tech Limited folding rear sets, chain adjusters and both clutch and break levers, factory CF fairing panels right and left, factory race ecu, factory crash pads, Marchizini magnesium forged wheels (10 spoke), Galfer racing wave routers, Zero Gravity Corsa windscreen and lots of protective pieces as I find and research them. This might end up being even more exotic than any of my previous Japanese bike builds. Certainly more so than my 2011 S1KRR but surly not as fast. Already, however, my favorite bike... Well, along with my 2008 B-King.
