Re: nearly ready for M.O.T
i like it very much,can i ask what are the forks from,i see you have yam brake on it if im not mistaken,
i dont need sex,the government fu*k me everyday
Re: nearly ready for M.O.T
the forks and calipers are from a 1999 R1 and a 19x20mm radial master cylinder for a bit more braking power

Wow! She's a beauty mate. Top quality job there. Love the seat and paint scheme.
I've just one question and it's not a criticism, but there seems to be a lot of unsupported length at the back end of the pipes. Do the cans bounce about without hangers to steady 'em? It just looks as if there's a lot of leverage on the forward mountings/joints, and i wondered if it would affect the MOT at all ?

WOOHOO!...TWINS!

Re: nearly ready for M.O.T
not got round to the exhaust hangers yet, im hoping to get the link pipes bent upwards more so the ends of the cans sit just below the indicators
Re: nearly ready for M.O.T
That actually looks like it should be a standard fit Raptor headlight. Almost a pity you took the original clocks off - they would have gone with the light really well.
Re: nearly ready for M.O.T
ive decided that the headlight brackets were to big and made the light stick out to far so made a smaller set, i`ll post some pics tomorrow to compare

Re: nearly ready for M.O.T
Really top job you're doing there! Love the minimalist look around the back, brings the styling bang up to date. What is the headlamp off?
Re: nearly ready for M.O.T
headlight is from a ktm 950 super enduro and not to badly price i think it was around £100 new

Re: nearly ready for M.O.T
cool, do something with that swingarm though, it seems out of date with the rest of the bike....
It's all greek to me....
Re: nearly ready for M.O.T
been thinking about having a twin steel tube swingarm made ,i dont like the rsv swingarm ,but for now i just want to enjoy it .
Its been off the road for the last 18 months i cant watch another summer go by without a bike

Re: nearly ready for M.O.T
That's a really mean looking bike - well done! I'm not sure about the rsv swingarm either, it doesn't seem to match the rest of the design of the bike but a twin tubular one would be great. Please post pictures when you get it done. Are you leaving the wheels brown or changing them?
PS. That chain looks like it needs a little bit of love.

Re: nearly ready for M.O.T
i was thinking maybe white wheels when the funds allow me, proberly wont do anymore to the rap now until the winter at least and yes the chain has been abit neglected but a good excuse to a gold one, just need to persuade the misses .
