Yes that shade of Blue looks gay :lol: Only joking. The bike looks the dogs dangles. You would be better off with a standard sprocket cover than that thing with all the holes cut out or at least get all the holes symmetrical...and get some numbers on the rear numberboards. :thumbup:

Fabio,

Post a pic of the rear seat lowered and also a sound clip please . I have to hear those pipes. As you probably know I have a full race system with a shotgun setup and brand new Micron carbon cans and I can't help but wonder how it sounds compared to yours .

I am so envious of you right now !

P.S You deserve a rest . :thumbup:

iv still to get the front guard fitted and reshape the pegs hangers but its as done as i want it.. first impression was, whys my clutch just let go :sad2 :sad2

so new plates and springs from mr mon :clap: sorted that.. its completely different bike to ride. the subframe,forks ,pipes and ecu have transformed it,, it seems to pick up revs from down low a lot better and by pure luck the jetting is spot on, no flat spots just twist and go.. handling wise it seems shorter, it actaully feels a lot smaller then the sum of the parts,,

so here is what has taken 15 months and a lot of planning and ducking and diving to get the bits and some great advice and help from folks on here..

iv tried to be faithful to what it looked like years ago or at least my version of what that is... i love it, i wouldnt do it again but i love it.

it was worth it for the sound alone from the pipes, the pops and bangs made me grin like a kid :thumbup:
That bike looks awesome man, now don't go changing the colour :) Great work Rob :clap: :clap:

il drag it out and get a picture of how it sits now iv adjusted the seat.....

as for the colour i did torment myself over it at the start but went for the early mori blue,, i have a full spare set in castrol colours so maybe at some point get those painted in the later colour....

can imgur who i post pics thru do video clips?.. it sounds fuking nasty , not friendly burbly v twiny just nasty lol.

iv also noticed, normally when you warm a storm up they blow steam out the L/H pipe mainly until they warm up, with the mori downpipes they both blow steam so its breathing differently ?

Funny that, both mine blow steam to !
