To fully convert a Strada to SP spec. would be quite an undertaking.

It's hard enough finding/buying the 'common-or-garden' replacement parts for an SP - without having to source (and finance the purchase of) the more 'unique' items necessary to convince a knowledgeable punter. Would it really make economic sense for someone to do this merely with a view to conning the unsuspecting buyer?

Anyone care to guess at the final cost of such a conversion?

It ain't worth it. I wanted a 888, but I didn't want an SP because I'm not the sort of fastidious owner an SP deserves and I wanted to modify my bike over the years to make it MY bike.

If I had a fairy godmother or a lottery win it would have a mildly tuned 955 engine with a 748R close ratio box, mag wheels, brembo radial masters, k-teched suspension, smatterings of carbon and a single seat. But I wouldn't care a jot about it not being a pukka SP and I would never try and pass it off as one, even to interested onlookers.

A bit. 1990 Biposto to this. Well alot really, but I get to play in the shed, so cash doesn't really enter into it.
I call it SP through the years, a personal journey!

Just finished (almost) my home made carbon fiber P8 and electrical stuff tray. It has no number plate/mudguard bit. The indicators and number plate hang off a small light Aluminium bracket. So it will look like the pic.

Waiting for raymond roche rep. gp calipers to turn up in the post.
