2010 race bike, page 4 *lots of pics*
well this is how she looked when i bought her,
she now looks like this
ive cleaned it, replaced nearly every single bolt with a stainless steel 1, as they were all annodised blue before (they wont go with new piant job)
fairing goes for respray on saturday, stuff for powdercoating goes in the morning, and a few other odds n sods have been ordered.

Looking good, so this is a racebike having a rebuild then? Think this must be the first weve had...
Hope it all goes well and look forward to more pics!

Re: making my new bike MINE :)
done a little more to it today,
fitted newly painted radiator,
fitted the modified exhaust hanger and freshly repacked exhaust.
went to choose the colour for the fairing today, and the guy has made an awsome job on repairing them.
unfortunately i dont have a before pic, but they were in a very bad way, but look at em now!!!
