Meet Carbon Carla She started as a Monster S4, but is now this. Carbon 916 BST tank Carbon Panigale Jap 4 seat unit (modified) Carbon front mudguard Carbon 916 airbox panels (modified) Carbon S4R radiator panels Panigale 899 subframe (modified and can also be configured as a bobber) Ohlins S4RS shock S2R single sided swingarm ABM top yoke and bars Rizoma mirror Spider rear sets LED headlight (don’t like it so no pic!) Airbox replaced with pods Full S4R exhaust system Battery relocated R&G tail tidy CNC clutch cover Frame and swingarm powder coated black It can also be configured as a bobber, but more on that later..... The bike is very light indeed. I have compared her to a 1299R and that feels heavier. Next phase: Wacky headlight Digital dash BST carbon wheels Ohlins forks and radial brakes 1198 engine?!?!? The concept/design is by me. The engineering by Ray and Max at Ray Petty Meccanica
Lovely but worried about support for silencer, or, more likely, what looks like no support. Is there any?
That’s not his house, that’s a crime scene. Can ye not see the 8 & 5 on the walls? Like those things on Silent Witness marking forensic clues. He’s a barrister don’t forget. Likes hats as well.
All good points.... The can is welded on as the diameter of the inlet on it was much wider than the pipe. So Max machined an adapter and being the minimalist modder that I am, I didn’t want to clutter things up with a hanger, especially as there weren’t many obvious places to mount it. Messy house. Guilty as charged. In mitigation I am mid-slow motion potential house move, so things are a bit upside down. The 8 and the 5 are numbers stuck to the wall with a clock mechanism mounted in the middle. Most of the numbers have fallen off now though, and since the photo was taken, the clock has stopped at 5 to 5, so it’s always time for Crackerjack (Crackerjack!!!)
I’ve just realised I posted the wrong pics so I replaced them. These are a bit better - different belly pan for one thing
