I have completed my winters toil on the bike and will now be riding it exclusively until I get the itch again (Doc sorted out the last lot with a script but that's a different subject!!)
I was looking at the bike the other day and thought to myself "Hmm what can I do to improve my bike. I know more BLUE!" So on went the Pyramid belly whic I had sprayed up to match the bike. I am a little worried it will adversly impact the performance as it was YELLOW before the paint gun was pointed at it. Anyway the following are the pics taken today with the following -
Fireblade 954 front end completly rebuilt with K-tech springs, new bushings, seals and oil. All secured with lashings of titanium and carbon fibre. Fully rebuilt and resprung Penske 8983 rear shock, braced storm swingarm with Ti bolts and carbon hugger. The rads have been moved back to provide increased movement, Stick coils fitted and the permanent carb take offs fitted and secured
The wheels have been sprayed to match the engine cases and fitted with Dunlop Sportmax qualifiers. Braided Goddridge hoses fitted all round.

Hope you likey.

Sorry mate I resized them to display on here. What do you think of the "tacky" frame guards? Thanks again for them, I really like them with the other Carbon bits and bobs.
