Everything all lines up. No moving of hole or no drilling. Only things I've had to cut for were the R&G's and for the header pipe. Big blank canvas now...
All white is OK, but the white that it is, is just plastic white. I'm gonna do a Suzuka replica, just need to decide on which one.
Yep!! buying the bike is just the start of it really, forgotten how much you can spend on these things!
Hi mate, what model forks are they? They did two models of the FGRT329's as I am sure you know. The reason I ask is you have a load of top at the yoke, the RR6/7 does not like to run anything other than flat, the forks are marked at the lowers 4790-01 or -07, the -01's are 730mm and the -07's 717mm. There was a lot of confusion with geom with the two model forks and what with stock top out springs in the OEM forks its hard to take down the geom and move to another fork, the Ohlins forks also use a top out spring but I found when re sprung and valved they often sit topped out? How did you come up with your geom? I run the same fork with 5mm (later -07) but some were confused and thought 5 rings but that was per Ohlins for the first -01 model fork.. Just interested to know as I have done a lot with the 329's but then I am a average Joe rider and not able to push like the BSB/IOM chaps do, the RR's chassis is so forgiving it feels plush to me whatever setting I've run.

The forks are FG43's and I didn't get too techical with how many rings are showing above the yoke. I measured the forks side-by-side with the standard ones, fitted them to the bike accordingly, rode the bike to PLR Suspension and they set the forks up for me. The rear shock was purchased from Philip McCallen's Motorcycles and included in the price was the set-up for the rear shock, so I left that alone. I'm not much help there, but they work for me.
Love that bike. I think it looks great all black rathe than a race rep paint scheme TBH. More of a stealth look.
Thank you for the comments. The bike is now 20k miles old and a fresh paint job will do the trick. I'm obviously gonna keep the black fairings in the attic but the new panels are gonna be a Suzuka 8hr replica.
