Thanks Toby for uploading them im glad you loaded them all :D :D

To Feef i have the chain but renthal take ages for an anodized sprocket the rearsets are gilles there top qaulity kit aswell i would highly recomend if you are wanting some.I have just streetfightered a thunderace for my mate pics are in the gallery its blue not alot of money was spent but it looks quite good i loved riding it there very quick but they are the original R1.

To Slim boy i cant bring myself to loose one pipe i love the blueflame evos and they sound awesome so i will be lifting the pipes high rise instead of cranked up which will show the arm off.To answer your question of wheelbase length it measured 50 mil longer.

To Curly i dont no what it rides like still have a few things to sort out i hope it rides ok i should imagine its greatly improved handling wise with the blade front end and ohlins rear i have heard with the front conversion it corners really well according to some one in the states.
Your turning circle is reduced with the bigger yokes so maybe this helps dont ask me how im just going on what i was told.
Its a further reach forward with the clipons but i can adjust them slightly forward or backwards

I have done all the work myself apart from the powdercoating of the rear caliper and hub and polished swingarm.

Its taken me since September last year to get to where i am now but thats mainly down to getting parts and researching forums for information aswell as Daz Sear emailing back and forth so i have to thank Daz alot for being so patient

As far as cost goes the complete conversion front and back without pipework altering,exhausts,rearsets (as i had these before i started) rear disc and braided lines soon tobe from paddockstand about 1400 8O 8O :lol:

So im glad you all like it and thanks for your comments my heads getting bigger now :lol: if i can help you guys with anything im always available cheers

Yes more than pleased Chris :D with how its turned out still undecided about exhausts keep mine or have some underseat pipes made but really cant wait till i have a go its been so long.

I keep busy to take my mind off it still working on my friends nc30 just spraying up all new bodywork at the min and welding the rs subframe.

With talent like that it would be a pity to waste it :!: but do make time for some riding when you get the chance 8) :D

You can't be to far of getting her finished now :?: I know it's alway's the last small bits that seem to take for ever :!:

Yes only a few things to sort mainly the biggest of the lot the rear header pipe needs altering and maybe some link pipes making depending on what i decide to do with exhausts this will be a job for someone else though.

An engineers eye. :)

It just looks longer in the pics, i suppose even 50mm makes a slight difference to the overall look.

Looks great, i just wondered why do it. You must be just as interested in the engineering side as the riding side.

Always wondered why people do these projects, generally you could buy an off the shelf bike which in most ways will be better than the special for much less money.

Hats off to a great project the nike looks fab.

Does it actaully ride any better than a standard storm.
