Hi guys thanks for all your coments.

The early R1 nose seems a perfect idea, and i have seen peeps with a 98 r6 single seat unit.

I will probably buy a set of 400 sides and try fit the r1 nose.

I have done the 600 engine swop, nest was a gsxr400 gk73a braced swing arm and wider wheel/tyre.

the early r1 nose would be what year 1998 era??

thanks again for the help. will post some pics of the project.
