SWEET! This confirms my plans for painting the front white.

<poke> Time for an update dude now that you've got the carbon belly on there. </poke>
No and no.. It was a huge pain. I machined the spacer to put the wheel perfectly on center but the rotor was not even close as the caliper offset was way too deep. I ended up using a Ducati offset rotor mounted inside out and was a perfect fit. Success..
I am goint to the track this Monday, however I will be driving my car at the event. The RC may have to wait till next season.

Nice!!! That's what I've done as well, along with brembo OE master cylinders with a hydraulic clutch conversion. My next step is a wheel swap and dual discs in the front. Not that the bike needs it at all, but it's more of a novelty for me, than anything else.

As requested by Matt, here's the final look. Full carbon tyga bodywork from formula 390 as well as about every other part in the book. Would love some details on that caliper psych0hans is running, that sure got my attention.

Lots of money in that bike! Looks really good, though!I do like the Andreani cartridges in the forks, but there is an Ohlins sticker on the fork legs. Haha!

Andreani Kit didnt come with any stickers which sucked, but i liked the subtle look of the black ohlins stickers on the fork legs...goes nicely with the shock too.
Sombody has to find more info on that brembo caliper!!!

Ah makes sense, I have been hoping to find a brembo caliper that fits for a while but i am assuming this wont fit on the stock fork.
There may be a way to custom make a adapter bracket to fit a 100mm Brembo. The caliper would also have to be moved inwards as well to be centered on the rotor. This seems hoaky to me and since we are dealing with the brakes, a bit unsafe.
The fork swap with softer springs and, fender, caliper and rotor was the most cost effective way to get a good suspension on the front. I was considering the cartridge kit but the stock lower fork tubes on the 390 are not coated ( chromed ), they are just polished steel and have a ton of stiction. The cup fork is wayyyy to expensive.
The RC8 fork works really well with the Ohlins and the brake is EXTREMELY powerful, 1 finger..

Finally got round to finishing off some bits and pieces.
Spark exhaust now on, sounds fruity!
Rear hugger from Carbon King, Evotech mirror blanks and chain toe guard. Just waiting on the Tyga bellypan from the paint shop and some sunny weather!
