I loved the way the frame is polished and wheels etc - but a little concerned as the welds on main joint are non existant - hope they were welded very well from factory with good deep penetration!

You could get the silver ones and get them anodised your self or just paint them with high temp paint?

Have given in to the loud pipes already.
Won a set of micron titanium oval race cans on ebay - £212 - didnt think it was a bad price .

Have fitted them and love the sound ! - also seems to pull a bit better than before.
Seat height hasnt changed so can still reach the floor aswell !

Only got to get and fit manual ccts now and get a grab rail .

hello and welcome ,
fitted pipes (ccts next)
lightened flywheel is a good cheep mod to do

Have got my manual cct's from rider on a storm - look great , will try to fit them this week before something lets go.
Have also got a grab rail secondhand on ebay - still alot of money for what it is - then had to make up a bracket assembly to fit to subframe to bolt it to!!
( dont know why I didnt just make a grab handle myself !)
Have realised I have an original looking regulator fitted to subframe so now need an R1 / R6 one ! - always something to spend my money on!

Fitted my manual cct's saturday morning - under 2 hours start to finish using the instructions on here !
A 130 mile test ride confirmed no problems and leaks ( just that fuel tank is to small )

Is there any alternatives to getting a tank from a later bike? Any aftermarket equivelants or options available?
Not sure if an extra 3 litres is still enough of an increase.
