Bike update - changes!  Empty Bike update - changes!

Awww I am uber excited. Every time I bid on a front fairing for my bike they get taken off or end up going over the £103 it costs on ebay for a new one but my OH saw a fella on ebay breaking one and managed to get the shocker and the front nose for less than £100. Just need fairing painting to Kenny Roberts yellow then its on! I am so excited as the front fairing not been complete since I bought the bike and it niggles me. The shocker also in a poor state although still working.


Taken off any unecessary decals, rim tape - trying to keep it looking 'clean'.

Had it lowered and changed the side stand to compensate – haven’t changed any of the front end but bike feels super smooth and steady so we’ll see how I get on. Sent off to DVLA to swap my EMM number plate onto it. Happy days – I guess the Cat stays!


woohoooo

thanks guys im loving it. seats can be done cheaply anywhere. i use grizzleys custom seats - google him if you want to see more.

my dad builds/races bikes and my OH a biker so not worried about any mechanical issues. i just make the teas and hold the bike, spanner etc etc etc

had the stand shortened. theres an inch out nr the bottom foot. it's perfect.
