    Thank you Jay ! You know your bike is screaming out for the brembos and ohlins dude ! You can't have carbon wheels and expect them to be happy to be stopped with anything less than Brembo's ;)
    Like always, if your mrs truly loves you, she will get over it !! :D

    Lightech mirror blanking plates turned up ! Sleek and only £18 ! Just need the rear view camera now and the head scratching can begin with regards to where I'm going to mount the monitor. Ive cut a piece of cardboard out and tried it in a few sneaky places and hopefully i should be able to blend it indiscreetly enough..
    The Chinese still haven't answered my email about if my fairing has been shipped yet :mad:

    Looking fantastic G! one bit of advice.. gear change may be a little stiff with where you have positioned the shaft vs the 0-180 deg line. Maybe need to move it a notch clockwise at the gearbox for the smoother shifts ;)

    This arrived yesterday, so my trick for today is to try and make it disappear in the cockpit somewhere... Not sure this is the best idea I've ever had, but we'll see what happens...

    Tell you what, Blackness. I've been thinking recently about chopping my RR4 for something else but after seeing this I've decided to keep it and trick it up.

    I doubt it'll end up looking anything like yours :D but it'll be getting some bits added.

    I've just bought the HRC rear reservoir and I'm going to do the RR4 to RR6 sprocket mod.

    Wonder if it would be OK with the heat from there. Possibly need to fabricate some sort of heat shield.

    Will do.

    I'd quite like to put 06 fairings on it but I understand that it takes some buggering around with the radiator.

    I was very tempted with the rear camera idea also but decided against it as not sure you would be able to see anything on the screen in daylight.. Plus I dont have anywhere on the rear which doesn't get pelted with stones! Would have to do the MotoGP camera mount, wouldn't mind that looks cool :)
