My (finally) modified AT plus two more

In the end I decided to make my AT the way I really wanted it; quite expensive (don't ask!) but now I'm grinning from ear to ear.
Here she is, plus two more that belong to a couple of friends and members of the AT club.
We picked up all three yesterday...




Inverted 50 mm front forks by Marzocchi



Massive lower clamps by Boano Racing




Top clamp again by Boano






Rear suspension by Mr. Ohlins




Silencer by LeoVince




This one is really nice: Wilbers in the back, Marzocchi up front, custom made fairing with Gauloises replica paint scheme and special dash.
Took part in the Konigklasse at the Erzberg Enduro 2006, plus won a couple of local club races as well.




The one on the left has std forks with stiffer springs and a rear Mupo shock, plus fairing by Boano






Other details, this is the Gauloises one




And this is the other blue one (dash is from a Honda NSR 125!)




And so today we just had to go for a ride to see how well we had "wasted" our money!!






Ahhh, lovely!

Re: My (finally) modified AT plus two more

Congratulations, it’s FANTASTIC.
I can’t take my eyes off these pics. This is the mod that I wish to perform, but with the front fender of the Gauloises one (looks like the ADV950).
As I can see, the mod is perfect. The ignition lock fits perfectly (even the thing that holds the cables), the speedometer cable on the wheel, everything! I wish you to enjoy it and expect to read from you soon regarding the performance, the adjustments and other stuff like how much oil and what grade must be used for this one. SUPER!! Enjoy it!!

Looks good Breeze, prefer your mod's to the others, I just don't like the Africa Queens fairing, those forks of yours are ace.
