Thought I would give you a quick potted history of my bike. It is not finished yet, and these pictures only go up to about 6 months ago, so there has been more done since.
Started off as a very standard red bird, which had lived outside all of its life - therefore all the metalwork looked very shabby, had a light drop on each side, nothing broken, just scuffed everywhere... (don't have any pics of when I first got it, just after seat hump, first body mods and exhaust)
First of all, added seat cowel, Dynajet kit and full Akrapovic system, along with modified exhaust hanger and removed centre stand.
Re-anodised all the relevant metalwork, re-chromed all the chrome parts.
Then had paintwork done in heavy pearl metallic orange (changes from almost yellow to almost red in the light, but is VERY orange in the flesh), with the black metallic with blue and gold fleck, outlined in silver... (is this faster than the original red...?)
Then set out on alot of mods, pics show a few (too many bits to list, but some are here)
Full turbo conversion with intercooler, hard piping going through the frame spar. Adjustable boost controller, Bailey dump valve.
standard JMC swingarm, adjustable from stock to plus 4" (currently set at around plus 1" from stock), modified with top brace and Harris carbon hugger, Harris rear thumb brake and mini caliper, PFM rear disc.
Ohlins Grand Prix forks, Harris adjustable yokes with AP Racing 6-pot calipers, PFM narrow track discs. AP brake master cylinder / lever, AP clutch master cylinder, uprated clutch. Marchesini wheels from a 500GP bike, painted orange to match. Harris carbon front mudguard. Ohlins rear suspension.
Ohlins steering damper on custom bracketing, oil filled boost gauge, white dials with orange needles, HID headlight conversion.
Alcantara seat trim and seat hump, with embroidered 'turbo' logo (based on Porsche 'turbo')
Gilles rearsets with carbon heel plates, rear brake lever removed , Gilles clip ons, Harris fuel filler cap, many uprated engine parts, other stuff yet to come from suppliers...
Many body mods, include front indicators, (ford focus side repeaters), CBR 600 mirrors, custom side stand, clear rear with LEDs, running 200 section rear tyre, no rear pegs, removed grab rail, mini rear indicators, undertray, side exit exhaust with aluminium trim, etc.
I will post the finished article in a few weeks when it is fully done...!
Hope you like it, has taken a long time, and a lot of hard work to do... See you all at a bash sometime too I hope...!
Pics are in approximate time order...!
