Jim's RVF *Pics added*

Post by reverse cylinder jim » Fri Nov 20, 2015 8:49 pm

So after owning a fair few nc30's over the years I've finally got another RVF to play with. The bike in question used to be owned by a mate of mine so can't take credit for most of the build but I have and will be putting some more parts on the bike to make it my own.
Here is the spec of it as I got it.

Tyga carbon single headlight fairing
Tyga carbon single seat unit.
Tyga carbon fr mudguard.
Tyga carbon air ducts.
Tyga carbon fr tank cover.
Tyga carbon chain guard.
Tyga rearsets.
Rick Oliver gsxr genny conversion.
Chinese rads.
Red Samco radiator hoses.
Few ti bolts here and there.
Gold wheels.

Since I've got it I've acquired a Titanium Tsr sp1 half system, my old set of three spoke Dymags and a set of modded carbs to suit the exhaust for it so loving garage time at the mo fitting these bits.
Apologies for the lack of pictures but it just never stops raining whenever I get five minutes so not had chance to get it out and take any pics but will hopefully get some taken soon.

Cheers.

Chinese Silicon hoses are good and only cost £30 delivered I bought two one for my own VFR and one for my mates RVF and the delivery only cost us £2.50 each

Still no pics at the mo sorry but things are moving on, if a little slow.

Hub has been removed for modding to allow Rear Dymag to fit so bike is stuck in garage at the mo but fingers crossed it will see the light of day between Christmas and new year so pics will be added then. I've also got my lathe back after it was put into storage so I can now make some spacers for the front Dymag.
Plus I've secured another undertray and subframe as the originals had been cut due to having 600 shock fitted so this can be also rectified over Christmas.

It's running a standard rvf shock at the mo but on the look out for an Ohlins, Nitron etc etc if anyone has something they may part with would finish my bike off nicely?

Still got it, though sadly not turned a wheel for the last three to four years I'm ashamed to say.

It's getting to the point where I should be calling it the reverse parked instead of reverse cylinder as it's been in the corner for so long!
Think I might drag it out when the rvf comes out for photo's. It's time I did something with it I.e use it or sell it!
