Absolutely love it........but not sure about the red hoses (too bright, maybe too tacky when the rest of the red bits go so well).

I dunno, I quite like the red hoses? But then again I would have put the red engine bolt kit on too so maybe my taste leans more towards tacky haha
Also loving that seat. Imo just needs a nice carbon pipe on it now ?

A beautiful job there! :lol

It looks really good to my eyes, I especially like the red wheels and caliper inserts. Good work! How did you make the caliper inserts red?
is it clean enough?

loving the black fork tubes mate, is that just cosmetic or do they work better with less stiction?

Stunning looking machine, I personally like the can that's on it.
Good job well done, it looks light and sleek. I had to go back and look at the caliper inserts as I did not notice them, nice touch, red hoses look great, but then I like those touches, Bling! ![]()

I'm liking that
![]() But I have to ask the forks ?? I'm assuming mucho £££ as soon as you said F1 cars I saw ££ signs but me likey likey , what are the pillion hangars done in ? I'm slowly changing mine to black/carbon and the pillion hangars being polished metal really stand out on mine now. Excellent transformation ??????????????

Fork stanchions were done by http://www.reactivesuspension.com/services.php Around 2 years ago, they also did the red anodizing on the callipers. Your right with the £££ + ££ Seat was done by http://www.diggerseats.co.uk/Home.html Sent him a standard seat and it came back spot on, wanted it black as I reckon it'd be easier to sell if I ever sell the bike. I had a Corbin before this one but a well known seat customizer in Huddersfield made a mess of that one after I sent it to him to be lowered and recovered, cost me £80 for the privilege. Rear foot pegs, wheels, front forks and any other powder coating were done by http://www.triple-s.co.uk/ Got the windowed cases from Luke who has someone he knows make them, the one in the pic is steamed up due to condensation, a good run and they clear up. Carbon is from gbmoto ebay and a place in Germany, I'd say the German stuff is slightly better quality, but over the past 12 month their prices have gone through the roof. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fur-Yamaha-Faz...SwKfVXGNB- So now I have to either stick with 2 different types of carbon or take the plunge and buy some more gbmoto parts, we shall see. Landed luck with an Ohlins shock on ebay, less than half price as new ![]() Luckily I have a very good mate who owns his own garage (Bolton Motorcycle Workshop) and comes up with a lot of the ideas and does the bits that I can't. Which is most of it :lol I get all the stuff sent there saves the Mrs finding out cause she'd kill me if she ever did.

I got carbon bits from GB moto , fairing infills , rad guards, air box covers and side panels and every piece had to be altered to fit properly, the rad guards were the worst and fairing infills were not a copy of original fittings, He offered me a discount on future purchase or part refund as they were so poor, I opted for the part refund.
