.........this is my latest project that I have completed. I have tried to keep the bike looking original with just a few subtle modifications . These include, polished wheel rims and foot hangers front and rear, de linked brakes using colour co -ordinated blue braided hoses.(Thanks to Seb at 321 Ignition for the delinking kit, polishing and white dial) Micron carbon fibre road legal exhaust (baffles can be removed for a nice loud noise :rolleyes: ) Blue double bubble screen, Blue bar ends custom seat with blue piping, new Bridgestone 020 tyres and of course my personalised number plate, DB CBR (people who know me will understand :} )


Hope you like it, cos I do :yo:

Another superb job Taffy

I like the seat, it looks a bit similar to my Bladerunner but "better" somehow. Where did you find it?
Good number plate. I won't let your secret ID out.
Has Mr. Bridges offered you lots of wonga for it yet?
:}

Cans

Like the end cans. I've been thinking about them myself. How much were they and do they do much for the bhp (not that it needs any more really :bow: )

Thanks for the comments chaps................

................Shrops, I think the conservatory was about 50 ft long , 40ft wide, two stories high and with a heated swimming pool :rolleyes:

Roxxo, the seat was already on the bike when I bought it, so don't know who made it but, could find out for you if you are seriously interested, and no I don't think mr peacock would pay the money for a number plate.

BoB, I had a new tube in the garage for a while, so I thought rather than let it go to waste I would get some alloy polished up and use the solvol up:rolleyes: :-: I don't like things going to waste you see:h

Steve, the cans are not cheep unfortunately cost over ?600 new:cry: I managed to pick them up second hand off a friend who had only had them on the bike for two weeks and had to sell his bike so I bought them off him.

As for the extra bhp I have'nt realy noticed any more power difference because I still have the baffles in the cans.
They sound raspy and crisp with the baffles in so. I don't think I will upset the neighbours just yet by taking the baffles out .

your seat

We've got a 'BLUE'bird too - they are the best and the fastest!! We are very interested in your seat and if at all possible would like to know where it came from. We have looked at other custom seats but they all seem to have piping around the back edge which can be quite uncomfortable for the passenger to sit on - ie. me! :lick: Thanks in advance, Floozy - Codbashers better half (and don't let him tell you otherwise)
