Cheers @Oakleyspatz , it was done by Digger Seats in South Wales. He has another in stock ready for exchange for £100 for an RR8-11 but I'm sure he could sort you one out if you supplied him with a spare seat. I bought one off eBay for £13 and he charged £85 for the recover as I had asked him so I could still use the bike whilst it was being done. Turn round was about 2 weeks. He has done 2 seats for me in the past so I knew what I wanted. The thread including his contact details is here (please tell him you got his details from Lyn off the 1000RR forum if you decide to use him): http://1000rr.co.uk/threads/just-had-my-seat-re-covered-by-digger-in-newport-south-wales.26704/
Not much change from £1000 but well worth it in my opinion. Take a look at motorcycle storage at Asgard metal sheds. Mine is the standard one which was plenty big enough for my needs.
New 3D 525 chain 118 link + afam chromy 15th front + RS7 Superlite 43 sprocket And after 1500 miles and two dead racetec rr i hesitate between a new set or another set of M7 ..
got 38 000 kms if my first set on my build engine ! So logic to buy one again , just with a tooth more than now .... lol
Got the oil and filter replaced, and first proper ride since fitting the R77......sounds fantastic. Glad i failed miserably in fitting the baffle now! 2 weeks into Fireblade ownership, still can't believe my luck.
1st service, filled it up with super and rang it's neck a bit. Oh and fitted powerbronze carbon chain gaurd. Not sure weather I like it or not yet though.
