Well done that man, you've every right to be proud of that build.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

a bit of spondoness.
Have you spaced up the rear ?fabiostar wrote:still to fit the rear light but i taped a lens on and got about ten miles out on it, nothing fell of, nothing exploded and no fluid leaks. what i did notice, its a bit frisky in corners, as in steers so much faster than the yellow one. first roundabout i near ended up going up the inside curb![]()

.happy days..
If you have might be an idea to lower it again !! As don't want you binning it just yet !
The new paint job curse and all that !

Your right there lloydie, I'm still waiting for a bag of stainless elbows from China to knock up an inlet manifold.lloydie wrote:I can't believe how well and fast it's come together , must be a new forum record ! Well done looks the nackers

I hope you don't intend to bring that on any Storm meets. Because, you know what's going to happen. "Gi us a go mate, go on, gi us a go, please mister, go on, gi us a go, go on".
However, if you DO bring it I baggsy first dibs!

Re: a bit of spondoness.
lol....
so first proper ride out and a few things.. first of it feels like a 250 to ride compared to my yellow one. steering wise
.
2nd.... connect your petrol light or this happens on a motorway..


KNOBBER>>>

and 3rd its running really rich. i mean new plugs ended up thick with soot and lumpy on a steady throttle. flies otherwise but.
4th.. its gets to 5.5k and splutters and wont rev on????

Re: a bit of spondoness.
Now that looks f..ing awesome....no not your selfie
Well done




It has to have some Red as that is part of the Mori colours that represents the Sun like the Jap Flag. With the wheels being Red it's probably too much percentage-wise. The rest is water hence the Blue being the majority of the colour as is the majority of the planet and then Yellow the sand or earth. Personally I am not a fan of the Red wheels but hey your an individual and you have given it you personal touch. Things are hot over there.Fantastic looking bike now......Nice idea to use red number boards to link with the wheels

Happy days
Re: a bit of spondoness.
last few wee touches before hitting the road.. mirrors to spot cars with blue lights.

a wee sponge tank protector to save the paint.

and fitted a tank breather. just for the look.


oh, and those brembos i took a gamble on. with an 07 blade master they are all sortes of epic....
now its time to get the big yellow girl serviced and back on the road.
