Re: Coming back to the fold - track conversion NC23 + road N
Got the new RVF on Sunday, made the decision to rob it of the shiny bits for mine. Started early Tuesday and assessed everything as I took it to bits as to whether it was going into the use/store/sell/bin pile.

Tyres ordered for the Dymags, went for Pirelli Rosso Corsas as they'll be my main track wheels. Was very impressed with the Rosso 2s I had on the R1 and now on the white stock wheels and was told these are even better!

Awesome delivery is awesome...

Still waiting on a nosecone as the one that was supposed to be in the box with this lot was damaged.

Spent yesterday fitting the carbon tank shell, have ordered a set of warning decals for an RC30 to finish it off.

Stripped to down yesterday for a super intense scrub as it needed it!

Started putting the decals on, and will be ordering the others soon. Will hopefully be able to source the last bits I want soon.

Re: Coming back to the fold - track conversion NC23 + road N
Got started building the ZXR frame up. Obviously somebody else wasnt careful storing parts, I have 3 front axle and spacer sets but no rears. I put the front end together, minus bars. Decided to go with the GSXR1000 6 pots, purely because they were the most complete set in the box, and they'll be regularly cleaned they ought to remain seizure free.

So progress has been very slow recently, I've gone self employed and now work 6 days a week.
I finally got an undamaged Tyga carbon nosecone on Friday the 5th of June, so will be fitting that when a screen turns up. Will hopefully have pictures soon :)
