Just got my pipes back from Big Stink. Overwhelmed with satisfaction doesn't even come close. They're as good as new.

Well I've been collecting some parts and scouring ebay and other sites for original panels. I was just about to go down the Tyga painted bodywork route when I spotted a set of original panels on ebay. They did need paint though but to be honest that didn't bother me too much as I wanted to get the colour scheme back to the original RR version rather than the RT colour scheme the chinese and Tyga fairings come in.

I also got some new radiators as mine were horrible and then popped on some Samco hoses as well. Also been cleaning it a fair bit as well.

Bodywork is going off to J&S Racepaint early next week and then fingers crossed it will hopefully be back in a few weeks or so. Once the bodywork is back it's going to have the wheels powdered white and then that's going to be it for the summer, just concentrate on riding it.

Good work! Yours is coming along at a similar pace to mine still but is being treated to a few more shiny new bits (I won't mention it to my NC30, the last thing I want is a tantrum on the day it goes in for MOT haha!)

Those radiators with the Samco hoses look awesome. Just got to get rid of those horrible anodized bar weights now ;)
