I'm the dude... shoot me a PM. And don't pay any attention to the squirrelman, he's a bit frazzled from searching for his nuts.

Seb I vote you use this as your new logo............;)

Hard to understand the entertainment of seeing a clutch basket rotating But a couple of gerbils running in a wheel, now that's cool !

So as some of you know I had my '03 torn apart due to an unfortunate wiring harness fire. It was bad but not the end of my bike by any means. The dealer came good and got me the replacement parts at no cost and didn't even put up a stink about me doing the work. At first they said "we will have to inspect and repair the bike" but I said no way it's apart in my garage and you aren't coming to get it. I proceeded to put it all back together and beef up the wiring, running great. Then a friend called me and said he wanted to buy a road bike (I own a bicycle shop) for spring but hoped we could barter for some paint work on my car or something. At first I said no I just got the car custom painted last year, then I got thinking hey let's play with the bike. I love the silver but wanted to personalize the look, I love white wheels (start groaning here, AND yes I will be asking "what's the most fling resistant lube")) I love the look of silver, white and black together and I love the layout of the 2007 RWB color scheme. Three pictures of bikes that inspired me; So this is what I came up with in my head, Dutchy and my cousin helped by photo chopping for me. I know it's going to look even better when it's done, I know colors will be much better. I also have some mods and ideas that I'm working on that will be different than the stock 2007 RWB picture we digitally modified. I will keep updating as I get closer to final assembly. I hope you enjoy the journey even if you don't love the colors. :rolleyes: So far this is the only picture I have to share, the wheels are now white with a hint of pearl, there will be more pearl on the body.

...and The Dude abides. Seb, I couldn't help but notice the post counter under your avatar: ...so I've been meaning to ask: 1. Is that a real post count for you, or was there some weird server restore back in the day that resulted in a large archive of posts being assigned to you? 2. If genuine, how does one accumulate more than 23,000 posts? I think of myself as an active member of the board, but at my current post rate of approximately one post per week it would take me [...does some math...] 450 years to rack up that many posts. I don't think I'm going to get there. Or, if I resolved to achieve that milestone sooner, it would take better than six posts every single day for ten straight years without interruption. Is there a story there?

Just search for member Sebspeed. He is your man.

I spam the hell out of the 6th gen forum with these pics. But I'll leave these here for anyone passing through. If you're on the fence about the Sebspeed clear clutch cover, let me gently nudge you over the edge. Get it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

OK,she's back together! I will take some better pictures soon, when the light and conditions are a bit better. I am very happy all in all, the stripe on the tank is a bit off I know but otherwise perfect job. I am extremely particular and some may say anal but I think I will get the tank re-done at some point to make the stripe perfect.
