Welcome fellow UK'r, i see you have another post up asking for comments. Looking good, my mate did the yellow checks on his black v-max.
As for input, the shorty can looks good but is a bit crowded with the hanger. You could loose the rear seat/pegs/hanger and make up a new bracket that bolts onto the rearsets. This gives the can a cleaner look.

This is the bracket that i made, it was not difficult to do. You would be supprised how strong it is.

That's a great tip thanks.

I forgot how big UK number plates were! Nice bike though mate. I'd be taking that shorty can forward a bit so you can see the back wheel better and then loose the rear pillion pegs (unless you're big into taking people out), apart from that, she's tidy as.

Oh, and welcome mate!

TAZ1216,
Whats in the motor ? Future plans ?

GSXR Cams and Carbs,
Unplug the wire under the left hand side panel,
(although i could never tell the difference)
4 degree's ignition advance
(unless your going to run Happy-Gas)
but most important of all.....
bin that wanky flat-plate clutch and get a coil
spring conversion from a GSXR11, dont bother with
"Heavy duty" Yank springs etc. Its a poor substitute
for a real clutch and make the lever heavy as hell,
Trust me...I know
Oh... and get some car starter motor leads to bolt to your
battery leads so you can lay the Jelly filled battery down
in the tail piece, then you have room for the NOS solenoids
and fuel pump in the battery box

Hi all and thanks for the comments, its nice to know all the time ive put into it has paid off, although it is'nt quite finished yet, (but they never are)

Thanks for that piccy, ive been wanting to loose the can strap for ages but was a little concerned with the weight of the link pipe and can, i will try to have a look at weekend and see if i can make a strap up, thanks again

Im changing the full system over next winter for a high level one to suit the new seat unit that will be fitted and hopefully it will open out the whole rear end and a set of usd forks will finish off the front

Thats a good spec you have posted thanks, Ive considered the gsxr cam and ignition advancer etc, but to be honest i think im opting for the 1216, then maybe nitrous aswell []
a gel battery will be fitted in the new seat unit

thanks again to all that have replied,
