Finaly dragged it out of the back yard today for a bit of clean(had mold growing on the dead bugs ewwww) thought iwould take a few better pics of it. Really happy with the look think the seat unit suits the lines of the bike perfectly and gives it a more upto date look. Not sure if the colour is a good match yet think it might be a bit dark but need to let it settle a bit and give it a good polish. Any way the pics.

Awesome from the rear, lovin the pipes. IMO needs a Moriwaki lower though then it would tie in the sharper lines of the seat unit with the rest of the bike. Great job mate.

Teaser, eh?
So the next mod will be fitting:
1. The R1 engine
2. The R1 Reg/Rec
3. Turbo
4. Wings.
Votes, ladies and gentlemen?

BTW, don't like it at all, makes mine look like a lard butt in comparison.
Sulking.

:D
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Really like the new rear on your bike mate

Do you have someone to manufacture yur link pipes ?

I used Zorstec in shipley to fab some up for my mini M1

I'd highly recommend them :lol: and if you've already got someone, forget this bit !! :D

Nice work 8)

Thanks for all the kind comments not really got much done to it since the last pics where done apart from finally getting a rear seat. Been far to busy at work and the weather is not really on my side at the moment. I have looked at Zorstec and their stuff looks top notch if my guy lets me down then they are the next port of call. I have kind of mastered the e-bay thing and now have a pile of parts sat in the front room to play with so watch this space. :D
