good work mate i love it

Still have it mate but kinda prefer the black now , suits it better . Prefer all the red the be under things , not covering if you know what I mean

Mate from Yamaha service desk cam by yesterday and we got a few bits done . Attached the relay arm but awaiting a couple more seals for swingarm . Took the exhaust off so I could replace the gasket and clean up the cylinder head and replace with new gasket .My engine is rusty as fcuk inside but he reckons we should get it started and go from there . It's prob cause I left it outside for 5 months , ah well we'll see .

He also sorted the powervalve or whatever so it's fully open , later I'll source a 2 wire servo if I can . Springs on and we'll sort headlight wiring next week .

Really torn about these handgurads now , I'm scrapping these ones i bought as they were and look cheap , plus I think black might look better ... which brings me back to the MT03 handgurads , but will also need the handlebars . So I'm kinda leaning towards black bars with black guards , will look a bit meaner I think , right now it's still looking a bit too .. non supermotary I guess . We'll see .

Stickers are just for thoughts , they aren't stuck on

Few pics

Stripping it down again last night , that's Chris from Yamaha ( doing most of the work I should add )

Cheers mate

www.ddgraphics.co.uk sort u out some **** hot stickers for that mate

I like the Renthal bar, but I don't like any kind of handguards. I even removed mine. But maybe that's just me, hehe. Still, I love the looks of your mean bike.

PS ...

Hand Guards ....

I like em' ... but then again i like hand guards, period !

I tend to use the ally bar strengthened ones as a necessity to protect the levers off road .. acerbis rally pro with spoiler extensions, were the last set i used, though i think later ones are out now ?

Mebbe black ones ?? If your unsure ??

or gucci ones wiv' iccle' lights in ????

Or mebbe,

just the ally wrap round bars, for the brutal 'Do Yer' want some knobhead ?' look ?

You could get baz to oversee polishing of em to mirror finish ??

Good hand / lever protection & would lift the lines of the bike out to compensate for ...

'Frank Sidebottom' Headlight ???

Got a few bits done today , took clocks off and the rear res bottle . Also sorted the wiring for the headlight .

Decided to leave handguards off , I prefer it without them now . Getting the ASV levers and leaving it like this .

clocks gone

And res bottle removed

Bars more upright

Chris testing it out for me

Fat bars are twice as much as normal bars

With clamps they work out near £130 .

Not keeping these guards but theyre fooked . The part that goes into the bar doesnt work on one end and the other end I craced a tiny bit

where u get that rear mudguard from mate

Had enough of the bad colour match on the front fender , got a spray can out and tried it out . Looks OK to me , not as good as a brill white one would but oh well . I'll keep looking for a better match but until then I'm rocking the badger look .

Taking off the plastic vents covering the oil bottle and radiator . I'll trade them in at the crap yard and get some black ones . You see this is the problem with styling a bike before it's built .

It's still wet paint so looks waaayyy shinier than it will dried . If it looks OK I'm ordering another Acerbis one but in black

Also not sure about the headlight now , these might look better ...

Anyways , hopefully these turn up tomorrow

Fat bars in red

 

ASV universal clutch , unbreakable C5 .. in white and black

keep 1 u got mate looks **** hot

Ive just put the Polisport Exura headlamp on mine yesterday it looks great, Ill get a photo put up for you asap.

Just wish I could find some hand guards that match, actually fit and I like.
