Yamaha R1 5JJ 2001

Ok enough about reg plates please, there is another thread for that thank you

So I fitted the rear sets ........seems that their lowest setting is approx 2 inches higher than standard rear set position. There is no way I can live with that!!

So it does state on them for track use only so they are track specific but I was hoping for a little bit more adjustability downwards than that

I've tried loads of different positions and it's just not happening.....sending the buggers back after all, oh well

Looks like my brake light switch problem which I had just sorted was a waste of time

Plus side, I've polished up the standard rear sets up and they look pretty good so I'm sticking with them

 

Gutted for you Paul, but hopefully you're now happy with the standard set polished up.

Track ones are set up to be too aggressive - bum in air, head down low.

and with regards to private plates...

only joking!

I know, really annoying though as they were a nice bit of kit. I'll have a look out for some others but I'm not going to get some like that for £180.

 

I've started so I'll finish...........

 

Sigh of relief knowing I've not completely butchered it ...........

 

So when I started my search for the R1, I wanted a totally standard original unmolested example..... And that's what I got. But when I took the windbreak of a 9x7 plate off and replaced it with an 8x6 the excess rear fender hanging down was just to much. I think I've made a good enough job though for it to pass as 'UNCUT' to the untrained eye

Any more than that would be too much

 

It looks good.
I think it could look better if you were to get it a bit thinner at the bottom...it would look a bit more unmolested.

Tried to draw it but it’s a bit tricky on iPad

 

I hear you...... But if I'd started thinning it out and trying to get each side even is where it would have gone tits up...... In this case to keep the original undertray in place less is definitely more

I'd get rid of the lot and put a tail tidy on it but the aftermarket undertrays available for these are truly shocking!!

 

Yamaha speed blocks...... The ultimate go faster stripes

 

Looking good Paulo

 

Do you use soapy water to apply your decals....they always come out brilliantly

 

He lives south side of Mongchester if you want to pop up and lick his bum too

 

Bit of a trek but should make it

 

@hitch join the queue if you do

 

Err no thanks...not really my scene tbh

 

That’s a long home to the Southern Badlands with a strange taste in yer mouth and in dire need of a toothpick

 

Good call my friend, you’ve just passed my ride out test

 

Nope..... Just stick them straight on, the soapy water trick is OK but I prefer to make some small marks with some tape as a guide, the rest is by eye

 

Well you’ve had plenty of practice

...now, what’s all this I hear about men licking your bum?

 

I think @Lozzy was trying to insinuate that your incredibly kind comment about my decal application technique was a little....... Bum licky

She always has to bring rimming into everything does Lozzy

Just ignore her ...... She gets like this when shes not a a good rimming in a while!

Any takers??
