What’s up guys? Just a short post today. As you can tell from the title, my fairings are finally done. Well, sort of. They have been repaired and painted, but there are still imperfections on all of the finish. What we have planned is to mount the fairings on first and buff it straight on the bike.

I am not really familiar with this process so I’ll just trust the guys at the shop on this one. I always thought that the vibration would bend the mounts or cause some other sort of damage. But hey, they can be liable for it! Check them out!

All right guys, check back in a day or so for the next video. Peace!

What’s up guys? Nothing special or major this week. Just two to three little fixes that had to be done on the 900SS. One quick update on the fairings though. As you saw in my previous post, the fairings were pretty tore up. So I get a call from the shop and they said that it was beyond repair.

So, it’ll be a while longer before we can put clothes on her. What we ended up having to do was order a new fairing and have it get painted. Hit to the wallet but hey, it’s what we’re here for right? Anyways, on to the video!

Alright guys, stay tuned and have a good day. Peace!

So when I got my Ducati, I knew there was some cosmetic repairs to be done but GOD DAMN!! Those fairings were screwed up! So again, I took them down to Will’s Autobody on Geary Boulevard in San Francisco to see what they could do.

Will told me I was asking for magic but he agreed to get the job done. Check it out. These fairings need a miracle. But hey, it’s all in the pursuit of getting my 900ss back to beautiful.

Alright guys. that’s it for this time. Stay tuned for more updates. Peace.

What’s up guys? So one of the first steps I decided to take to finish my 900ss project was to get my seat reupholstered. The previous owner had put baby powder on the seat for a riding season thinking that it would let him slide around on the seat easier. If you ask me, he would’ve been better off putting oil on the damn thing, but whatever, I’m here now to fix it. Check out the damage.

So after looking for a good place to get this job done, I found Wally’s Auto Tops on Geary Boulevard in San Francisco. They’ve got a good reputation, employ good people, and is an all around good place to have this job done. I took it in in the morning and they were done by the afternoon. Here’s a shot with the cowl off.

The seat came out great and they even matched the seams that were there before. At any rate guys, there will be more to come as I want to get this bike looking nice before the weather changes.

Peace.

Hey, what’s up guys? So having a Ducati now, I was curious to see if other Italian car manufacturers had made bikes; specifically Ferrari. After doing some research, I found out that they actually used to, but years ago when bikes weren’t quite what they are now. I found a lot of “Ferrari inspired” bikes on the internet, but they all didn’t seem to really be like a Ferrari; you know, super sleek, futuristic and completely out of reach.

But I happily stumbled across this bike made by an industrial designer, so technically it is “Ferrari inspired” but man it looks like something that would actually fit in their current line of vehicles. Check out the website here.

Now, all you gearheads can just head over to the website for all the technical specifications. Since I’m the lead graphic designer here, I’m going to talk about this piece from my perspective.

Overall, the bike very well designed. Mr. Glinik is a very talented designer. He started from the engine out (and that’s what I’m really into, the design is amazing). What he did was cut a Ferrari engine in half. Whether it was a v12 or a v8, I forget. You guys can check out his website. As a colleague in the field, I can totally appreciate the time and effort that Amir obviously put into this project. When a true artist is passionate about a project, it reflects in the work.

The suspension is also really trick. This designer really did his homework and created a work of art and spared nothing to the attention of detail.

Check out the headlights. Very Modena-esque, if you ask me.

Here it is in black. I think Amir made one in yellow too. Check the website.
