Ta. That's mainly what I've heard but some seem to think that if you've a brake light then you should have the rest. Don't see why myself, as long as the relevant switchgear is removed.

if its not there they cant test it. if u tape up something say a switch they cannot remove it so the switch is technically inoperable so.cant b tested. as an exmple a car gets taken into a test with its rear brake light in the centre of the windscreen taped over because it doesnt work, they might know it doent work which would b a fail ordinarily but because its covered they hav to pass it because they cant remove the tape to test it and as they arent a legal requirement..it passes.
a horn is needed as a warning for others that u are thete as u have no lights. likewise the brake light so people know u are slowing. fit a simple ignition/starter switch from a mx bike and lose the rest of the gear you should be fine!

Finally got around to fitting the Blue Spots :peace: Think I'm going to need new front discs pretty soon, there's a lot of piston showing. Found what looks like an earthing issue with the indicators but they're coming off anyway. My BN nose cone is actually for a 3EN2, the air duct ports are below the headlight aperture, not above :twisted: I may not end up fitting it anyway if I buy the race fairing. I'll just sit on it for a while until they become no longer available anywhere :mrgreen:

Has anyone fitted the R6 M/C and reservoir to their bike? Think I need to fit a rigid elbow to replace the link hose and fab up a bracket.

Any rears that will bolt straight on too?

I'm guessing this can is OE?

Oh. Will this FZR600 race fairing fit?
eBay
Or do I need the more expensive one?

i've got a set of 3en1 discs, i can measure the thikness of if you need them, they were off a road legal bike and look to be in good nick.

i fitted a remote res. to my 3en1 racer, it needed a new bracket, the other thing to be careful of with the brembo m/c is clearance with the fairing bracket/clocks if it touches for mot it will fail. ive got one on the 3tj and it only just fits, but the set up is different on the 3en1 so it may not even ba an issue!

I'd loose the air intake hoover tubes and see if you can put the clipons below the top yoke.
Rears - really you'd need to look at changing the swingarm - Kayla put a TRX 850 in and used a 17" wheel but the TRX tyres a bit wide and you'd need a 120 front and 3.5" wide wheel ... that all gets a bit pricey.
The can's OE and use the first (cheaper) fairing

Cheers EC :peace:

I'm on to Fuel about an end can as we speak, it'll have to be custom made as they don't stock anything for the 1WG and I want it shorter than their mini. I'll probably get two end cans, one for quiet circuits, if adding a baffle doesn't drop the intended stubby below 102dB.

Do you reckon a Blue Spot could be made to fit on the rear?

I'll get the cheaper kit purchased then :mrgreen: Only slight issue is it doesn't come with solo cowl but hey ho!

Cans don't seem to add a lot to these bikes. My 3TJ has a can and a K+N filter (it's a squashed down 1WG one in the standard airbox) and as far as I know it's still running standard carb settings
