    Spotted 2 very nice 1000rr's today in whitby, first at the whistlestop cafe and then filling up at 4 lane ends garage

    1 was a 2008 black + white model with a few tasty mods and the 2nd was sprayed in castrol colours and looked beautiful

    both bikes had my eyes popping out as they were very nice indeed

    Nice one mate, thankyou. He read what you put as your 1st post which made him well happy. He collected his kwak K-1 500 body kit from me this mornin which I've just finished for him. He lives in Leeds an regularly trips to Whitby (one of my favourite uk places by the way)

    Hard to say without details mate but the Castrol was £1400 (if my memory serves) for full body kit, wheels and full strip an rebuild. It was the 4th bike I'd done for him too. I'm just in the middle of a TT legends on a 2006 blade for TT Racer on here, hopefully he'll put some pics on here when it's finished :)

    The castrol looks stunning, I don'y usually like anything with green on it but it looks mint. Looks like you do an excellent job roo.
