I'm sure Paulmort will forgive me - but I just saw this SS on a German Ebay auction (for the pipes I think) and LOVED the look of it...........

I just dont like the new shape SS fairing and this one RULES!

Cool swingarm, wheels, PFM SBK brakes all help of course




Enjoy

What exactly do you dislike Frank?
The rear end is fairly "square" dont you think??? It does make the rear end look deceptively higher though. When you say modern dont you think that it is going back to the ss of the mid 90s, not that I dislike that look?
Is it the half faired variety that you dislike or just the "cut outs " of the full faired one?

I do like the colour, under seat?/ high level exhausts and the wheels. And yes that swingarm is luverlee

[kwikbitch]

Oh! and even though I have one...I really HATE the noses

[Iconic944ss]

Sorry Lisa - yes - its the cutout section on the fairing lower in line with the wheel spindle that I just dont like the look of.

Just looks like a shark about to attack or something.

Could be right, of course!!!

I guess I'm stuck in the 1990's yes - I go all weak knees over an 888 !!!!!!

There is a guy who lives round the corner from me who has a Yellow 750ss 95 I think it is... I love his bike it is so distinctive...
I've never "heard" mine...just listening to him riding up the road gives me goose bumps...I just imagine it is what mine sounds like to everyone when i'm riding through the backstreets home!

[Iconic944ss]

here is another way of doing it - makea the front look a bit nicer - but he forget the lowers - lol !!!!

Frank, no offence taken m8.
I must admit I do like the styling, and especially the wheels. The swingarm looks and old type to me with the concentric ring which adjusts the chain and stuff. Note also the back end looks cleaner but he's got no hugger
My one concern would be the severe angle of the pipes as they rise from low level. Looks as though you'd keep scorching the heels on your boots, and on mine I still manage that sometimes esp. when Im on a long ride and moved balls of feet off the end of the pegs. But, yeah, those really hi level cans look great
NELLY..........., where are you............................................... .........................

The metmachex swingarm is the same as is on mine (still down at Nelly's so you can have a look) - swap for your heads??

Race cans removed for daft rules at Donnington in 2003, look at them tyres !!
