I actually felt guilty puuting coolant in the rads today as they are so well made.

Spike, the brackets are JDM ;)

I'm looking forward to trying out these Diablo Super Corsa's

I've had Diablo SuperCorsa's on my last 2 bikes and I really like them, loads and loads of grip, they flatten off quite quick but round up again if you push on through the corners.

P.S. the bikes looking good.

I've tried the Dragon super corsas and was very impressed with them; they lasted quite a bit too!
The Diablos are supposed to be more 'sticky' at the slight expense of longivity!

The wheels do look great in white! I can't bring myself to powdercoat mine in white though! :roll:

Hey Joe, thanks for the comments. Thankfully this bike has only been on its side once in my ownership, the track-bike however is another story LOL The Silhouette nose is staying, there a Tyga RC45 replica seat to go on and the rest are Honda panels. I think the last thing will be possibly RVF forks to finish off the RC45 look (mainly for looks and not performance) but I need to find a set of forks that I am happy to spend the money on.

That's looking pretty awesome Viper, nicely done.

I recall you carrying out a similar project a few years back, in the old Tyga rear end days.

Thanks fella. I did do a bit of a write-up a few years ago with the Tyga bike, back when we all thought polishing was cool LOL The bike is practically complete, I'm just waiting on the cans coming back (am I starting to sound like a broken record yet???) then it's time for an MoT and Tax then out to see if the carbs need changing.
