Re: Another 'spare' bike
The gold RVF wheels are going on this bike aint they? Are you not putting a 160 tyre on them comsidering its mainly a trackbike and your now have the option of supercorsa's on the 17" rim 
A chain spacer kit should sort it.

Re: Another 'spare' bike
Yep they are, but in the interest of keeping costs down I'm going to go for a set of bt090's on this bike.
Will prob go that route at a later date, tis nice to have the option

Re: Another 'spare' bike
A while back I picked up a riders seat off the bay for a huge sum of 99p (+£5 p&p)
Down to the fact it had two marks on it, one of them being a fag burn hole in the cover.
My parents had a guy come round to give them a quote on reupholstering some seats for my dads boat project one evening and we got chatting.
"so you do motorbike seats too, I have a small amount of material left over from recovering my other seat, and you'll put a water-proof layer in too, £25 and you'll drop it back!"
Awesome

Sorry, can't help you with a paint code. The wheels are powder coated.

That seat looks fabulous. I've just sent my RVF seat and Gag bike seat up to SmartRRR's to be recovered in Alcantara so hopefully they'll look as good as yours when they're finished.

Cheers Zippy, I'm sure yours will come back stunning.
Not a huge update but got some new plugs in and routed the leads correctly
GPI rads are on their way to me too

Re: Another 'spare' bike
Cheers buddy.
The chinese rads have arrived, the quality is really lacking but they are very good value. The Rick Oliver rads I have on the other bike are far superior.
Have to get some rubbers and tophats from Honda and wait for the fan to arrive from Paul and I can see how well these rads fit, although they seem to go on fairly well going by how many 400GB'ers run them now.
