It's kinda scary all the mods that have gone into my bike over the years. I bought it new 10 years ago!!! First major mod was getting Mike to give it the full monty treatment way back in 2006! :eek  I think it had roughly 2000 miles on the clock.. Getting that done and the suspension mods have been the best things i have done to the bike. All the other stuff is just cosmetics 8)

Far play that looks well mint 8)


Is it jacked up at the rear then???


Something about your bike nicko that guves it more of a Gen 2 stance about it.....it looks beefy....i dunno exactly what it is.......& you've just got the combination of colours and theme just right.......i always do the opposite & completely destroy a theme by going ott or into the ridiculous :\ .
Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike

It's not jacked up at the back. It has an R6 rear shock with the dogbones supplied by devilsyam, so it should be close to standard. The front end is steeper because the forks are slightly shorter than standard and the offset of the yokes is less. Handling is on a different level to when it was standard.

Thanks, Nick ;)  When are we seeing your bike? Have you had your front end fitted?

I forgot to add that the seat is cut down, which will give it that short chunky look :)

They have improved delivery times compared to a few years ago when i purchased air box covers/sidepanels and rad guards (9 - 12  weeks)

Thats it Nick it's the seat....tbf youve dne a good job...only just noticd the seat wich means it must suit the bike & not look mickey mouse......actually on refelection...aesthetically id say it is how yam should have made them as it just suits the bike much better....i realise most folk dont care that much & prob prefer the original sofa.

I find the cut down seat comfier when riding :) , but it also makes it wider, so not as good when putting feet down :\
