looks like your undertray needs lifting bud

Shame about the indicator

Its the seat unit needing lowering lol I took a lump out for the exhaust hanger, but not enough it would seem :(

Went for a blast and wanted to get a soundcheck on the exhaust :D

Brakes are here! Given them a very quick clean to get them spotless and stripped the caliper adaptors off. Just need a reservoir and some brake fluid and it'll all be ready to fit :)

Brakes upgraded, damn thing stops on a sixpence now! It's highlighted the need for the forks to be refreshed though

Ordered a couple of bits, carbon clock surround and new tank decals (gold and white as on early RC30s) which have arrived, got an Abba fitting kit on the way.

Also ordered my tyres for the white wheels last night, went for Pirelli Rosso 2s as recommended by Tony :) really rated them on the R1 so got the correct H rated ones in stock sizes, got them for £143 delivered, and can fit myself for nothing :D

White wheels are on, new tyres mostly scrubbed in so very happy, now to save up enough to get a new shock and the front end rebuilt :)

Looks good on the white wheels. What shock you going for?

Dunno yet mate! Sent Rick an email about a gold swedish one though... got a cheque for £10k coming in the very near future so watch this space because there's going to be carbon and all sorts!
