It is indeed. It was simply too much hassle every time to try to come up with type approval certification for every single mod. When you have to fight to persuade a tester that an Ohlins shock is a pretty good replacement for the stock item (at 50k miles, too!) you start to wonder if it's worth the trouble.
The TCP undertray had to go because the number plate hanger wasn't right and TCP, like Renthal and several other aftermarket parts firms, don't pay to have the EU type approval testing done on their products.
Ironically, while the tester was nitpicking things like the width of the handlebars, he never even noticed the R1 front end. The Akra headers went some while back but I still have the Akra titanium end can. The stock dustbin is just on for the imminent test. At least I can hear how quiet the motor still is now.
The seat was changed for looks and greater comfort (more room to move with less of a scallop). The K-tech modded OE forks were a recent lucky find and it seemed sensible to swap out the R1 front end before Senor ITV got wise.
Refitting the centre stand was a bit of fun but it's kind of nice to see the old girl like she was a decade ago. I guess I must be heading into my retro years.
I hope that I can get through the next test with minimum aggro. May have to tape over the Renthal lettering on the bars and hope that the Rizoma blingdicators are bright enough to escape censure. The cut-down OE screen is there because tinted screens are a no-no. As if I can even get low enough on the tank to look through the screen, FFS!
I may refit the belly pan after the test and call it good. At heart, she's still the best all-rounder ever.
