Recent build we just completed that is going to a customer in Arizona from dB Customs, with a Ray Mancini 173hp (countershaft hp) 1260cc engine. All paint, no vinyl decals. Any questions, just ask away ....

That's a show stopper for sure, nice job.
OK, as long as you asked.....
How much ?
Wait ! Lets turn it into a game.....closest wins.
Im gonna say $16,500 Bob.
Beautiful bike!
And I'm guessing that $16,500 is low.

Awesome! What is the mini K&N filter under the tail for?
Probably crankcase breather.

I expect that engine alone is more than half of your $16,500, with the fancy wheels and suspension eating up the rest of it before you even touch the chassis and bodywork.

That's fantastic, love it! Is the tail piece/seat the carbon item from Webike in Japan? I got to see one in person some time ago and they're very neat pieces of kit although out of my price range. What brand are the pipes also?
I love that it still looks just like a Kat

Really like just about everything about this build!
3 questions.......... Is there no where discrete to place that $15 stock horn?
Looks nice without a cooler but what happens in the AZ summer with a 1260 motor?
What's the distance from the bottom of the header to the road when both wheels are on the ground?

Stunning! My guess: $22K
Darren the builder is also a professional photographer.
Some more pics and tiny bit more info on this beautiful Kat.

Without a Series R/R or a cooler, I bet it will get very hot. Looks like the stock R/R and stock igniter.
It might have been a nice touch to use a Dyna 2000 that has both a rev limited and low RPM retard to improved the longevity of the starter clutch.
On top of all that he is using small LED blinkers, and we can probably assume a LED upgrade in the headlamp. Poor little stator probably will not last too long.
That looks like a 4:2:1 header; it would be nice to see the full dyno results with hp,torque and AFR

$16,500....not even close, $22,500, nope not close either, unless he is charging less tha $50/hr.
I just did a full restoration on a 81KZ1000J for someone and I know how much that cost. I would say that Kat is closer to $40,000. There is probably close to 3-350 hrs of work to complete, plus parts.
Darren, I was just talking to Dave Lind the other day and he told me to check out your stuff. All I can say is beautiful job.
Tank looks like wrap with real carbon then cleared.
Cheers

Beautiful.
My guess for this showcase Bob/Drew is $23456 (labor costs could drive it way north of that) some custom/specialty shops charge brutal coin
Now my 2?
Are those the original clocks ?
And I might have opted for a shiny black low profile front brake reservoir.
Wasn't crazy at first about the wheel reflectors, but they grew on me, sorta like em now.
Might pop off the Xtreme badge
Might match the K&N filter, for symmetry's sake with another
And if it were in my garage, I would, I swear
lol
Not sure what I think about the exhaust set up...
I wanna hear it.
I wanna ride it.

Saw this linked over at OSS. Several posters used it as a vehicle to disrespect GSR. I think they were upset that Db would post it here instead of there.
Apparently on OSS GSR = Gurl's Blouse. Not sure what that slight means although the interweb says it's UK slang for whimpy.
Not trying to stir things up............... but I gladly would Tuesday if someone gave me a hamburger today.

I figured the OSS poster was referring to Instagram which is where I first saw it, even before it was posted on OSS or here.
Beautiful bike, but one thing I can't not notice is the front turn signals.
I've have the same signals on my beater, seems an odd place to put them.
Didn't want to say anything negative, due the exceptional build quality otherwise.
