Looks good, with the usual sucker-for-a-retro-paintjob rider. Bet it's cracking fun, too.

Re: A Nicely done TL
I sort of quite like it, suitably simplified. But caff rear ends never quite go with big ol' twin beam frames do they? And the blacked out frame just disguises that horror of plumbing and wires behind the front wheel, you can never really get away from that. Gold anodising needs shooting from space about now, very much on borrowed time.
I'd take 6 inches off the exhaust as well.

Thos it's a load of bollocks about it being a 92. The TLR didn't come out until the late 90's and the TLS was 97. (EDIT: it says 2002 in the body text).

Re: A Nicely done TL
The forks are dropped through the yokes to such an extent that on full bump the front wheel will almost certainly clout the radiator or the oil cooler or both. Looks wise the only thing I'd say is that it's very hard to make a TL1000R look worse than standard.
There is no cloud, just somebody else's computer.

Looks OK other than the exhaust. Do something better with the pipe and I'd happily own it....

Another one needs their bifocals on. The forks aren't dropped, that's a headlight bracket.mangocrazy wrote: ↑Mon Jan 02, 2023 6:34 pm The forks are dropped through the yokes to such an extent
(Not saying I know for a fact that the forks on it are as long as the originals, mind)

Re: A Nicely done TL
They are GSXR1000K6 forks (with R1 callipers), so probably shorter than the original TLR ones.

The grammar of the OP led me to believe this was a bike done in the style of the capital of the Alpes-Maritimes department . But it isn't.
