Hi Tony,

Well, you've come to the right place for therapy for your condition! At least, I hope so...

Keen eye you got Nick !! Yep obligatory R1 front end . I've got the R1 rear shock and an RSV swing arm but I'm liking the clean looks of the back end at the mo so not going to touch it for a while , except to repack the cheap tail pipes that blew all the wadding out in 3 rides 🤪

Looks to be a well sorted & nicely understated example. I like what you have done with the wheels.

And what brake master cylinder are you using at the front?

And it looks like you got some fold away legs with those rear sets !! they look to be well tucked away.

And does the chicken always photo bomb :lol:

They're cheap bars Trev , probably need the meccano to stop em.snapping under heavy breaking 😆 I'm after different bolt on clamps so I can put some renthal fatbars on but meh!
Andy , thanks , Master cyl is R1 too , still got to lose the reservoir and strip the black paint off the lever just noticed lol
