Well things have been coming along with the Ape. In the next couple weeks I will be taking it to the DMV to get the new plates and such for it. Here are some updated photo's of where I am at at the moment. I will start with where the bike began.... and where it is today. Hope you like it and I will get more up as soon as I disassemble it for powder coating.

Very Nice....

That's the only bike I don't have that I wouldn't mind owning.. I'll merely live vicariously through you...

Pierce · 05-10-2008, 01:21 PM

Thanks Dan. Here are some more pic's. What do you all think of my mirrors? They have the turn signals built into them so I don't need to make something for the front. Little bit of a cleaner look I think.

Very nice Pierce. I like the NSR 3 spokes and the disc brakes. Looks awesome, good work.

Dogboy · 05-10-2008, 04:56 PM

Looking good! What are the forks off?

Dan_Lorenze · 05-10-2008, 05:13 PM

Very nice indeed!! What headlight bucket is that?

Pierce · 05-10-2008, 05:21 PM

Thanks everyone. The forks are custom Kitaco fork bottoms with the stock ape tops. The head light bucket is stock for the bike.

reynolds_brad · 05-11-2008, 09:07 AM

Looks great Pierce.

Do you know of any other Ape owners here in the states with custom ones?

Pierce · 05-11-2008, 09:17 AM

I have not located anyone other than the white one on ebay owned by GPC Moto. I wish someone else was out there to buy my spares

p3racer · 05-11-2008, 09:54 AM

awsome looking bike. I like them mirrors. I sell a ton of them at my shop. I wish I had one of those bikes.

crf412 · 05-11-2008, 10:00 AM

That bike is sweet! I love how they have the vertical motors!!

Pierce · 05-11-2008, 11:05 AM

Hey P3Racer thats funny cause I got them from you!

Showtime2 · 05-11-2008, 12:46 PM

I see there are new ones out there someone had on the net where can i get a new one here the pics i have... I really like to get one any help ?????

shw911 · 05-11-2008, 12:49 PM

very nice bike. At least you know you can roll anywhere in the US and not run into another one!

Question, does it have a 17 or 10 digit VIN?

Pierce · 05-11-2008, 02:06 PM

It started life with a 10 digit but now has a 17.

As for getting one in the states good luck. I have only seen one more and they didn't really want to sell it too bad on ebay.
