Shit yea Rocket. That looks sweet mate. Have you moved the bottom subframe support up? It's hard to tell in the photo. Looks like it's a new subframe actually, the GSXR K tail subframe Yea?

Thanks guys.
Gix, that's a GSXRthou subframe, undertray etc etc.
Fimp, those are the original wheels mate, just painted the same as the other bits.
Probably should have powdercoated them though, as the paint might be a little fragile.
We'll see.

Congratulations mate it looks brilliant. I see you went for the MCS mini guages too. I like mine, they are both good looking and ver functional, the blue glow looks great at night also. Nice work, great looking bike so far.

Fimp, that's all stock stuff there mate. I've done nothing with suspension and brakes besides re-kit the calipers and master cylinder and fit braided lines.
I'll maybe do something with it later but the main thing is getting her on the road.

Cheers Large, gotta have a good shed, trouble is, you just want to put more bikes into it...like that's a bad thing !! :)
Air conditioned it last summer, how fucken tops is that !!

The striping and paint is sorted now and should be done this week, i think you'll all be impressed. Well, as long as you like drag stripes !! it's gunna look the shit !

Just gotta get those gauges wired in Razor and shorten up all the wiring looms, that just leaves the donk to get finished off.

Oh yeah RR-711. We got a couple of compressors in the shed to choose from.
One is for rubber dolls and the other is for tyres/bike stands.

Looks like you like a lot of BASS when you're working on your bike there Rocket, judging by your thinking chair.
