    Is that how they run the brake line normally? if not, that's a very cool mod idea.

    Nope, not standard. The holes are originally there for drainage, just need to widen the one near the caliper to 18mm to fit the banjo fitting through.

    That's coming together well mate. Just an observation. Have you had anyone sit or push down hard on your tail unit since you added that brake hose? Just curious as to whether the compression will make the line longer and stick into the coil spring. Long shot, but a lot of people have done mods over the years and not allowed for suspension movement when it's just sat on the shed - they find out on the first ride - some with nasty results.

    Sorry about the lack of updates fellas, totally forgot to update over here.

    I have since moved the brake line slightly so there should be no issues with it catching. I also had the pipes ceramic coated and have begun working on mounts for my PC fans, will grab some pics when I'm home.

    Also chassing some sort of exhaust that will.get me through inspection but fits on my mid pipe, would love some suggestions haha, all I've found so far is supertramp.

    ^^ what he said. I think a res and white combo would work a treat.

    Definitely what I'm leaning towards at the moment, I think once I get the front wheel painted white it will contrast with the front fender much better.

    Yep, will polish up nicely with a new paint job.

    Took her for a slightly illegal ride, brakes feel good, suspension is good, power is great as is the sound. Reckon I'm about ready for another inspection, just need a baffle
