Power Commander and Ignition Module, that should be 174rwhp with the Exaust, so I've been told. Yeah right, heard that before! I'll just have to wait and see... (fingers crossed and cheeky grin)

Looks like you're off to a great start

[sen]

Some nice bits there.. love the new(er) R1s fightered.. looks so tech.

[Flukyluke]

I'm think'in stealth fighter/bomber look in the black with a bit of red... any ideas?

[Gitzy]

Ya agree good idea.. lotsa black and nice touches of red, so far your parts are great.. maybe something cool for coolant bottle, see through gauge or complete bottle or something? can you get red coolant does anyone know?

That looks pretty good, almost toxic or something... and red coolant is a great idea!

Just a heads up on that headlight, light output is CRAP. And you can't up the wattage of the globes by much without risking melting the housing.

I've got a unit at the moment, and am replacing it with the cyclops which uses proper halogens.

Oh, and it is certainly not road-legal.
