But i reckon the screen on my Laptop is on its way out, as it looks like you have painted the discs and calipers baby blue!!!

Haha no your laptops fine, yeah theyre baby blue, 'ford olympic blue' to be precise, but there's going to be some baby blue on the bike so it will all match in! Im not an old man ive only just turned 20 so i wouldnt say its too lairy for me!
And as for the KOSO set up, thats exactly what im looking for. Ive seen one on ebay for £200, rx1 or somethin, it looks nice but ive never heard of it. As kris said, how much is the KOSO one?

EDIT: This is the one ive seen for £200..

my bike used to have a koso rx1, the only downside i found with this item is the meter is small.
later i replaced it with koso rx2. the meter is much better because of its size and rev light.
before.....
after.....

Yes that eBay link is the same as the koso I have, if you go to their site they also sell a idiot light cluster to go with it.

Ive done a bit of reading up on the rx2...it says it has a fuel gauge, can we get this to work on our bikes?

Right ive not updated on here for a bit but works not stopped. Earlier this week we got the frame and swinging arm back which has come out mint to be fair. We got a load of borin bits like bushes and bearings which came to £99.44......so easy to spend your money on little things! We also got our seat back from the trimmers which has come out a lot better than expected. We've used a GSXR k7 seat, done a bit of chopping cutting and bending, now the seat fits like a dream. Managed to use the original material which is a bonus. The pics are all uploading so ill post them on here as and when they've finished.
Next on the list is to get a front tyre on then we'll have a rolling chassis :-D
Cheers
Tom

Cheers mate. We had to cut the plastic mould, and bend the edges in where the tank sits. We plastic welded a bracket on the bottom so we can bolt it down to the sub frame, then the trimmers cut new foam but managed to use the original material..
