Gitzy's R1

[Gitzy]

Minor Update, got some mail today from Pro-Bolt and Oberon..

I've replaced nearly every bolt on the bike with stainless or anodized purple so not many left but the top/bottom yoke and the axle pinch bolts were bugging me so I replaced them with some tapered allen stainless items..

Also some deep purple anodized chain adjuster blocks..





Out with the Old in with the New..

[Gitzy]

Also I replaced the dome bolts on the headlight mount with some spikes..

[ALBI]

so you got them today then mate !!

[Gitzy]

Yup but still waiting for more goodies from Oberon

[ALBI]

hmmmm starting to feel crook mate !! had my good reperator on today and was all covered up and the 2 k must have snuck in my lungs dont feel good !!doh uuuuuckkkk.

i like the spikes !!

[Gitzy]

So I was going to ride the TL to AFR12 as the tyres on the R1 are completely shot.. But I couldn't not ride the Streetfighter to a Streetfighter get together that'd be stooopid so at the super last minute I excersised the plastic card and forked out for some spankin Pirelli Rosso's



and fitted my wanky purple chain adjusters..



Wow what an update!!! lol

[RevHead]

subtle i like the purple bits

[Gitzy]

Mail Man brought me my Oberon goodies today...

60mm SF Mirrors and some Fat bar risers..

[Gitzy]

I have a minor issue of the new risers have a M10 fitment bolt, and the top clamp on the R1 is drilled out to 12mm... No biggie just chased up some brass bushes 12mm OD x 10mm ID x 20mm Long and voila..

[Gitzy]

Time to get rid of the bunny rabbit ears..



No mirrors and just Rated R bar ends..



New Oberon Mirrors..

[BANDITROD]

use locktite on those mirrors mate i have seen heaps of those rattle to bits

[80s freak]

Misses Gitzy would've looked great holding your new nuts. Ay, ay, see what I did there.

[Gitzy]

Will do with the Locktite Rod, I had a few other bolts get loose on the way to AFR this year umm like my TRIPLE BOLTS.. lesson learnt..

Lol Geoff ..

[Gitzy]

Well I thought I'd get off my ass and fit the new Oberon risers today..

Heres the difference between the Renthal risers I had on originally and the Oberon risers..

Renthal from top of yoke to bottom of bar = 23mm
Oberon from top of yoke to bottom of bar = 36mm

So 13mm overall rise



My little issue of using an M10 bolt with the 12mm hole I had originally drilled for the Renthal's was easilly overcome with some 10mm Id x 12mm OD x 20mm Long Brass bushes.. Easy As..







Fitted up a Treat..



Only a minor change, I only picked them up with my Oberon Mirrors as they weren't to expensive Ultimately I want to buy some BXP risers to match my front brake resi.. I do however like the new height..

[RevHead]

there the same risers i had on my 1100, very neat Todd
