A whole treasure trove of bits here for a DB3 lover....just wonder what he did with the rest of the bike if this is what was left over??

Oh my God...….I hadn't seen those......And now that I have...I can never un-see them again......oh the nightmares I'll be having...I do admire the guy...and he has to be German....for going to such lengths to get those made...and at least the Bimota DB3 cut outs would make those billet cam belt covers lighter...but still not probably as light as the plastic ones he took off to be replaced with those.....He evidently has a chicken ranch also...as I've never seen so much use of chicken wire mesh on billet parts....teehee….I wonder why he converted the clutch to cable operation??...Or is that another mod to manually retract the side stand?...or lift up the glove box lid???...I'd like to see the completed bike before he whipped it all off....What the heck is that fancy bent tublular steel subframe also??

"bespoke" rear grab rail / luggage rack.

The beauty of adorning a Mantra with hideous "bespoke" bits is that they don't detract from it's inherent hideousness. Very Happy
