not got round to taking any piccies yet, much to busy riding plus i would have to clean it.
Fitted with
EBC Prolite X series front discs and pads.
Viper un-neighbourly, unmarked pipes, :twisted:
Rebuilt fork internals(done by PDQ near Maidenhead), dropped 10mm through yokes(may drop a little more),
Maxton resprung rear shock, 6mm spacer to jack up, stops things touching when cranked over
Ally sliders, fitted after sliding on the road,
LED front and rear indicators,
Rear hugger, unknown origin,
Bridgestone BT021 front and rear 180 on back, had 190 but fecked up handling,
Electronic chain oiler,
New battery and reg/rect with fins
Modified CCTs, Mr Greenwood springs, with slightly more pretension than standard,
Ventura luggage system,
Modified seat, unknown origin, slightly lower with like a bump stop fur backside.
HiD lighting,
Heated grips.
Yamaha Fazer 1000 mirrors, new holes made as wider studs.
Now always run on super-unleaded as seems to run a little better.
Bought with the smoking joe/camel already painted.
Optimate charger, custom cable holder from forum member(soz cant remember who, getting a little forgetful lately)very nice though.
This is my daily commute (74 miles daily) and fun bike :D and what a naughty bike it is :lol:
When cashflow improves likely to get a Nitron rear shock, and repair fairings after contact with road.
Best performance MOD, losing some lard of me butt.
So far bin reliable except for battery. :cool2
