ive got a front spindle kicking about somewhere that you can have, let me know if you want me to go find it !

Is it an r1 spindle or fazer one?

Got charged £25 vat charges. No customs duty charges as wheel and discs cost less than £134 (The limit before charges incur) Carbon front mudguard hopefully on way also. I think that's everything....

Bike shop have been in touch about fitting the fazer steering stem to my '03 R1 lower yoke. They say that the steering stem is 0.3mm to small to make a good fit. Anybody have any idea how to solve?

Likewise.

Not a job for an ordinary bike shop, disappointed that they threw the problem back to you for ideas, though. Find a good engineering workshop and they'll solve this for you in no time.

Thanks guys for the replies

. Getting there... Wheel and discs arrived today and very pleased, as i saved over £100 buying in UK and that includes the £25 vat charge.Waiting on a powerbronze carbon front mudguard arriving that was on ebay. I offered payment as a gift for a reduced cost, which the guy was happy with. Just need to get the steering stem issue dealt with and the spacers Mike gave me sorted and hopefully that should be everything....Famous last words

Time for a glass of nice vino.. Think i might have a Spanish one

I bought a steering stem from brian g from the fz1o site for $150 inc postage, Bought the appropriate bearings from bike bearings.co .uk (£35) Massive thanks to mike (Falcon 269) for the link regarding the top yoke, steering stem and bearing shop. Here's a couple of pics with it all fitted. I had to make a few spacers for the ignition plus a few other mods here and there. Well happy

Looks good

Just a point did you move the horn if not do as bristol banger will confirm it will hit the muddy

nickodemon · « **Reply #63 on:** 11 May 2014, 07:45:45 pm »

Yeah it now sits flush with the underside of the fairing. Cheers for the heads up

Very nice six pot calipers,,,are they the R!s ?

nickodemon · « **Reply #65 on:** 11 May 2014, 08:49:51 pm »

Yes mate, the front end comprises of an R1 2008 model front wheel, calipers and discs. a 2002 - 2003 R1 bottom yoke, an lsl 2002 - 2003 r1 bar conversion top yoke. R1 2008 powerbronze mudguard. The steering stem was manufactured by a chap called brian on the fz1o forum.

nickodemon · « **Reply #67 on:** 11 May 2014, 08:54:27 pm »

Nice bikes Nick........so if your shed goes on fire and you can only rescue one bike......which one would it be

nickodemon · « **Reply #72 on:** 13 May 2014, 05:12:04 pm »

It would have to be the tuono as it's worth double the fazers

cable tie · « **Reply #73 on:** 13 May 2014, 11:06:35 pm »

Nice conversion nick, looks very neat, and that tuono is awesome .
