And here she is ready for new steering head bearings and a little black treatment for the triples, and am waiting on some Renthal risers, Black Renthal fatbars, extended clutch cable, Black HEL braided lines, and some skully handgrips.. then will fit the 03 forks and my freshly blacked calipers.. all new pads, bearings, fender axle.. etc etc.

Hey Todd looking good so far mate.
Besides the colour change are the 2003 forks the same as your original forks?
at least u could use it for the unimoto drag race Todd :D

Rod - Ummmm don't quote me but I think by memory the 03 forks are maybe 10-15mm shorter and the spring rate is a little stiffer, apparently a worth while upgrade, i pretty much did it cos i wanted black forks, and they were good price, good nick and its an easy conversion, I'm thinking one day down the track a sssa and a 06- radial front end[:p] ..
Surt - That looks like a whole lotta fun.. :D

Shopping List has begun... purchased these last night.. Obligatory Bike Manual, New Stator Cover I was going to go bling but decided on OEM for now maybe paint or polish later, and seen as though the pillion pegs will be going bye bye, I picked up a exhaust bracket..

I'm keeping that in mind Pete.. the R1 colour at the moment sucks ballage.. but it was that eggplant poo colour when I bought it, yes I blame you Luke.. when I have all the running gear and new cases on, i'll take her outside for some sunny shots then i'll photoshop the fark out of it.. I'm keen to see your handy work on Rods machine, I hope he picks something good to harness your talents mate..
yeh i know wat you mean revheadpete
ride them !!
ive choosen the colours for rods bike already and the scheme is a good one
So gave my triples a freshen up, black instead of corrodedish colour grey and some spankers bearings and all feels new....
http://i493.photobucket.com/albums/r...06-10_1356.jpg
So after my stuff up ordering wrong risers, my new ones rocked up so i fitted them and the Renthal fatties to my shiny yokes, put my new switch gear on, new levers, my awesome BXP resi, the 03 forks and my shiny new dominators that I kept of the Bandit.. pics are poo cos twas dark, when wheel is back on i'll take some sunnies..

The triples look good painted black mate.
Looking awesome mate, love the R1's.
Looking nice and tidy there Gitzy. But my opinion is loose the twin spots and put on a different headlight. I hated them on mine as well but it was all i had and couldn't afford anything else at the time
Cheers Guys.. and Wack.. my thoughts exactly mate... the one that I want is over 500 squid so they'll have to do for now :( they pump out good light at very least though.Quote:

no movement on the bandit bar a kreem job on the tank gitzy,work went to shit..rear foot rest mount's on the sub,quick paint job on the frame ect and i can finally drop the motor back in,then it's 95% done. new job monday so fingers crossed !
hey gitzy looking good mate as far as im concerend a twin headlight sets the streetfighter themme up if a single unit is used it makes them look stock!!
Another little update.. tidied up the top of the engine, fitted new oil pump cover and some stainless bolts along with new clutch cable holder.. waiting on extended clutch cable to come in post then i'll pull my finger out and fit new clutch kit give the clutch cover a freshen up, and keen to get stuck into headers, they'll be just getting the black fix for now i think and i'll have to purchase a new slip on when funds allow.
