fabiostar wrote:still to fit the rear light but i taped a lens on and got about ten miles out on it, nothing fell of, nothing exploded and no fluid leaks. what i did notice, its a bit frisky in corners, as in steers so much faster than the yellow one. first roundabout i near ended up going up the inside curb :clap: :clap: :clap: .happy days..
Have you spaced up the rear ?
If you have might be an idea to lower it again !! As don't want you binning it just yet !
The new paint job curse and all that !

Your right there lloydie, I'm still waiting for a bag of stainless elbows from China to knock up an inlet manifold.

Well done Fab, great job :thumbup:

I hope you don't intend to bring that on any Storm meets. Because, you know what's going to happen. "Gi us a go mate, go on, gi us a go, please mister, go on, gi us a go, go on".

However, if you DO bring it I baggsy first dibs!

Now that looks f..ing awesome....no not your selfie :lol: Well done :clap: :clap: :clap:
Fantastic looking bike now......Nice idea to use red number boards to link with the wheels :thumbup:
It has to have some Red as that is part of the Mori colours that represents the Sun like the Jap Flag. With the wheels being Red it's probably too much percentage-wise. The rest is water hence the Blue being the majority of the colour as is the majority of the planet and then Yellow the sand or earth. Personally I am not a fan of the Red wheels but hey your an individual and you have given it you personal touch. Things are hot over there.
