    looks good..

    something you might want to try is putting the clip ons a bit wider, easier on the back and wrist while riding, and gives that aggressive look :D Mine are alot wider than the stock ons and love it, after 3 days of riding in spain I had no pain in my back or wrists which I usually do have.

    get the fan sorted?

    So you have the bars further away Skippy by opening them up? IE moving each one forward?

    No not sorted the fan yet.. Got side tracked getting the tank on :(

    Thats very generous Arthur but the sprockets are 520 so need a matching chain around 112 links if anyone has one haha. Im looking at buying one in the next few days, was going to hold out until I get paid on the 26th but not sure I can haha. Anyone recommend a decent 520 chain under £100?

    Certainly is Martin.. Need to sort that tail unit now as that could take a few weeks to get painted... Need to find a local fiberglass company to add some strengthening to the inside or buy some fiberglass and repair it myself..

    The temptation is to rush it now and get it complete, just need to make sure I finish it properly :)

    haha he would have loved that!! He loves it though which is cool :)

    OK so sorted the fan ( I think not tested) The old RRW blade the fan was an constant 12v open circuit and when the temp switch reached 100c the negative connection was made and on it came. Well I presumed the RR4 would be the same, of course not thats far to crude. The ECU controls it directly when the bikes reached 106 or whatever it is.. So this is why it never came on plus the fact I had painted the rad and fan shroud and ruined the negative contacts (whoops).

    Realised something was amiss when I took the temp switch wiring off and noticed it was a single wire then it clicked what was up.. So need to retest now. I ran 12v directly through the fan and it does work
