Just got back in from the suburbs. It's getting pretty cold out there now with a bit of fog once out of London. I don't think my fuel economy will be much good on this tankful

I just love those high revs with the exhaust shouting, on and off the throttle with instant pull.
Super duper.

Do you need spacers for the front wheel or is it a direct fitment?

Installed lighter flywheel that was cut below Roger spec's, but still within reason. Test rode it earlier today, wooooow.... what a deference, the bike accelerating much better and got to be a little more careful coming out of turns with full throttle, with the CBR1000RR lighter front and lower gearing the front goes up very easy just by twisting the throttle
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
That is most definitely one of the best mod's for the buck.

Started to retro fit the sp1 oil cooler today .
I'm using cbr600fl 1990 oil lines as they have the correct fitting where it meets the oil cooler .
So I removed the fittings from some spare vtr oil lines

![Image](http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/03/06/amegeqa4.jpg)
As the cbr oil lines are a lot longer than the vtr I can cut them down to size once fitted
Next up is to make a little hanging bracket for the oil cooler to bolt onto the frame
Watch this space !
