Looks well that matey,very impressed.I have the same colour but went for white powder coated wheels,good idea at the time.absolute cow to keep clean all the time.I too sheared a few disc bolts.

Nice job mate. Classy but not overdone. Possibly looks faster than mine.  Enjoy.

Obsession  (n)
1. Preoccupation: an idea or feeling that completely occupies the mind, eg: "His obsession with colour led him to having the completely mistaken belief that blue bikes are faster"
2. The uncontrollable persistence of an idea or emotion in the mind, sometimes associated with psychiatric disorder, eg:delusions of blue equating to high speed.

lol, maybe one day...bike has no seat at the moment gone to be recovered and i do hope you are used to disapointment or at least into 'grab a granny!!!! :lol

Thanks for all the nice comments, i am really pleased with the result so far, i must get the crash bungs on before i drop it!! and the seat will go up to a man in Scotland to recover with basket weave and blue piping and to lower it about an inch.    i think its a bit like having a tattoo...it gets addictive.....and bloody expensive  :eek

If you buy an R6 shock (v good upgrade) and keep the std dog bones you'll get the inch lower seat height without altering the seat.
Improved handling with same seat and get the seat done at a later date.
Just a thought.

Well the damping might be better, but with the seat an inch lower you'll have the steering nimbleness of something like the Titanic!

[Loz]

The seat is away being done at the moment, but with NO lowering as I didn't want to change my leg angle....but I am confused by the last posts, are you saying the R6 shock doesn't work?? That is on my list of things to do lol  :rolleyes

R6 shock works with dog bones supplied by devilsyam. Loz

Or as I said, you can keep the std dog bones with the R6 shock, which will lower seat height, (ok should have added this) then drop the forks by 10 mm and you will still have a fine handling bike.

[Loz]

Complete with new seat.

[nsr500v4]

OOH Loz
Where did you get the seat done? And can i be cheeky and ask how much?

[Loz]

If you search 'seller' on ebay under 'tophills' you will find him.
I have used this guy, Jimmy, on about 4 occassions now he is in Falkirk, you can either buy a seat from him or do what i do which is to send him my seat (costs about a fiver with Hermes) tell him what you want, i.e mine was to add a foam comfort pad, keep same seat height, recover in basket weave with blue piping and add the fazer and yamaha logo and the cost was £90 + £13pp, usually takes less than a week    he has always done a brilliant job for us on all our bikes in the past  :thumbup if you cant find him on ebay i will didg out his email address.

[nsr500v4]

Loz you are a star. Falkirk not that far from here anyway! Cheers.
