    Looks cracking but if it were mine I'd loose the chain guard. It covers to much if that stunning sprocket chain and wheel set up plus it'd give the bike that race bike look, did you buy the wheels new?

    The can is lovely to sone very nice mods indeed kudos to you

    I am really disappointed with the brakes on it, going for some HH pads all round and see where I go from there. May rePlace the ISR gear with RCS brembo kit when funds allow

    They seem to be difficult to get but I had this on an old project that I was not using so recycled it and put it on the blade. I have been lurking around the forum for a few months now but it's the first time I have plonked up. Some pictures of it

    All the best

    Quality is spot on and they look trick and the adjustment is perfect. The brakes are a bit disappointing but I think it's the pads. The last owner has put in some race spec brembo pads and they lack that initial bite so I am changing them for some HH pads that should work at a lower temperature. Can give a more accurate picture next week when they are in and bedded in.

    Bike looks great those wheels are sweet.

    You need some silver bulbs for the indicators like these, still flash orange.

    eBay mate, item 270946376101 £6 a pair but worth it. They are the same in the rear indicators as well if you still have the originals.
