The Radiators were from Mr Rick Oliver from this site. and they aren't cheap either!!

but my old ones were knackered and weren't doing much cooling at all.

They were Â£520!!

But definately worth it.
The Hoses came from ebay - about Â£70 i think (bought these a while ago)

i could ,in fact as soon as i get Â£520 i'll be getting them both,but i have to sort the track bike first....which will probably mean any spare cash i'll have well go on track days........i might have a bit of a problem getting Â£520 up front first......

Well once funding allows me to have a 2nd bike then I will be able to take mine off the road and give it the rebuild it deserves, then I think I'll get me some shiney new rads :)

I am going to be keeping the Eddie Stobart colour scheme that I have had for a while as my road going fairing. For the track I have a spare set which I sprayed up in Hanspree colours withe the number 52 of course

I have had an issue with the fiting of the top yoke as it wouldn't fit with the tank on so i had to cut and file off the piece which used to connect to the steering damper on the Ducati 749.

I have also fitted the Harris Clip-ons so Have now moved onto bleeding the RSVR Radial Brembo mastercylinder and brembo 4-pot brakes - what a nightmare - I can't seem to get any pressure in it at all and the fliud level isn't going down at all - I'll just have to persevere and get on with it! I know it takes a whle sometimes!

I'll get more pics put up soon too - I'm really pleased with the way the forks and yokes are looking now. I just have to find a place to relocate the ignition switch to. I have seen others wire them into other switches or the kill swithch but i want a little bit more security than that!! Any ideas where it could go?!!

Looking sweet :) what size rear tyre do you run with that wheel?

Post by **Spike16** » Fri Jun 27, 2008 10:21 pm

try and shift the hole ignition down to were the fuel tap is, then the key can hang down in the cutout and wont risk scratchin the plastics, it would be kinda harley style but we wont hold it against you

The rear tyre is a 160/60 17 so its not too wide to upset the handling and its a 17" one for choice of sticky tyres :D
