Rob,
With something as nice as that bell mouth to look at, it's a shame you can't see it when the bike is back together :)

i wonder how much aggro it'd be to put a blue spot caliper on the back, so they all match?????

from top surface of top yoke to spindle centre is near enough the same, (within a few mil). but the R1 legs don't stick out above the top yoke, so i'll need risers/low bars.

postie bought the exhaust bits today, 2 1/2" stainless bends an a 2 1/2" big bore stubby carbon can.
to be put on when the FCR 41's, lightened flywheel, manual tensioners and stick coils go on. i'll probably take 15 thou off the heads at a later date, but for now that's the extent of the engine work.
i'll cut the downpipes about where the red line is, cut a 4" bit of the 2 1/2" stainless, squash one end slightly, so it fits nicely to the original pipe then sleeve the rest on.
