    Hi Guys n Girls,

    I am a proud owner of a 2004 fireblade in Black with 13k miles on Her. I have had in the past an 07 Kwaki Z750 a K4 GSXR and a K8 GSXR and decided to have a go at a litre bike and always loved the RR4- for what you get for the money and still modern looks imo.

    Now I love putting bikes back to as new condition or as close as you can. It is in fantastic condition but I want it better lol I am in the process of machine polishing it as you can imagine 10yr old black paint has picked up a few scratches and i must say she has come up a beut. It did suffer from a fuel issue as it has sat for a few years but traced that back to the pump and replaced. i am currently working on an alarm issue but that is soon to be ripped out I feel.

    One thing I am looking for is some paint for the Right side engine casing as it has like screw driver scratch out of it if anybody knows so i can match it and paint it.

    Sorry gone right off on one ;)

    Here is a pic of the old girl,
