This is currently my only motorbike as the GSX-R is gone and I'm sorta saving for a new bike. With the stuff that's on this bike now I'm more proud to show it off on here and add wee bits and pieces to it as I go along. I had the pleasure of riding Rhorys 400 a few weeks ago and I can't wait to get out and scalp the arse off it, but my GSX-R was my winter hack, but alas it is gone, most likely to be replaced with a scooter for the winter duties and A-N-Other bike to sit beside my VFR.

That is a worry alright. I was fixing the clicks on the brass adjuster part of the forks and there will be clearance issues :( It's something I'm gonna have to look into, and should it be necessary I'll go back to a 120/60 and see what happens with that.
