Thanks for that

cf hugger - Not keen on huggers
rearsets.... - In progress
cf fender extender - good idea
skidmarx bellypan - hell yes!
seat re-trim - not for me, unless in suade.
wavy discs - mmmmm!
titax levers - in progress
blade calipers - now we're talkin'

Still a way to go, but I can see the light at the end of the noisy Stormy tunnel

I'm in two minds about that.. Matte metalic gunmetal vinyl wrap or painted gloss white?

i'll send you a pic of my seat when its finished......
geoffs selling wavy discs for £165, they look like new.
check out marks hugger, it looks much better than the early blade hugger....

Looks bloody good to me mate .Once you have silver lowers on it will look even better. Job well done Sir

looking very good Jamie…even in silver.

the angle of the pipes works well

Nice work Jamie. I think the silver looks good, particularly with the use of black panels to break it up.

Ripped more parts off ,be nowt left at this rate

bike is looking really nice
but me thinks it would look a lot better with silver wheels

Funny innit, I like it with black wheels. Be boring if we all liked the same thing.

Virt wrote:What difference does the compression make?

Compared to stock the 11.5-1 compresion gives a good increase in torque, great for wheelies and improves efficiency so better mpg. I would think about + 5/6 BHP also.

True dat

not done to the bike but ordered more parts
can packing
light bulbs
only brake pads and chain & sprockets left to get now so i hope to be back on the road at the start of march .need to tax mot and insure first too .

Chain, swing arm, linkage and shock off today, all came apart well . Previous owners have had a grease/copper grease fetish ,as there is plenty of it in all the right places, all good imo

Rode it for the first time in a good while yesterday as there had been no salt and sh1t put down on the roads in a good while here,

Soon forget how much power it has bugger me its got some get up and go!

Left me grinning ear to ear coming off the slip road joining the motorway with it roaring in second gear

Missed it

After a day like that, how are you still awake?

What trials bike do you have?
