[Evil Invader]

Ooops, sorry....

Took a test ride and it works really well. Got an annoying air pocket somewhere though.
In sharp (really sharp) right corners when I lean the bike a lot, it stalls on me... Makes it kinda interesting....

Oh, pics.
A bit boring since I don´t have the fairing, skidplate or navtower yet, but this is the way it looks atm.

I think most of the prices are fairly reasonable (yeah plastic tanks produced in low volume are expensive to recover the cost of the molds) except the front of the fairing, that one is way expensive because it's made from carbon fiber AFAIK.

Of course there is a bunch of extra hardware and small parts needed.

I thought the 690 parts were out of production(?). The 450 Rally #s are different, it seems.

[Evil Invader]

Well, Tank # are different, but the rest is as LukasM wrote. Don´t know what´s different between 450 and 690RR tanks.
Tanks # (450 RR)
7630701300028A FUEL TANK CPL. FRONT L/S
7630711300028A FUEL TANK CPL. FRONT R/S

There is no difference between the tanks from the 690 & 450. The part numbers changed due to the 450 tanks coming painted from the factory where as the 690 tanks are bare plastic.

Yep. I cross-referenced the numbers from one of the guys here sources and it checked out as beaney says. Looking at adapting a 2012 to this configuration. But has the platform changed much since 2010 other than relocating a few things (disregarding engine and suspension specifics)?

[Evil Invader]

Ok boys n` girls, what´s happened since last time.
Well, have not got the new fuelsystem to work as planned, so got back to original for time being

Good news is I got the fairing and nav tower, so let the build (re)begin!
Still missing skidplate and other bits from RR UK

Nice package from The Swedish Army!


Recognise this?






Tower




Making plates to fit between framebracket and tower
You can also see my "Hi-tech" tools in the pic

WOW!!!! it's looking GOOD!!

[StepOnIt]

Nice build and it looks soooo sooo sweet, I wont show any of your pics to my 690 or she might get jealous.

[crankshaft]

Try mounting the LTR pump vertically. I think you'll find it works better.

[Evil Invader]

Funny, had that thought today when I was down the garage. Will check on where it would fit tonight.
And thanks for the tip!

Graphics will go `cause that "belongs" to Thomas Berglund.
Think I will go with a black and white theme....
