Where'd you get the nose cone from?

Looks awesome by the way :)

[RVF]

Its a copy of the HRC fairing made by ARD Racing. They took the mould off Robert Dunlops RC45 when he was riding for the Medd Team in '94.

OK,OK, I agree, truly awesome bike, top notch!

Lovley spec! but those airtubes look a bit, dare I say it? errrrrrrrrr? industrial.

thats the charm of it, its not a polished exhibit, it really looks like it could have just come off the track, im well into classic car racing (not driving obviously) and thats the best thing you see in it, the patina you see in the cars, machines with history being used as they were designed to, I know this is a replica but when hrc were desiging the ram air system they were concerned about the looks as abosed to getting as much air into the carbs as possible?

Once againg RVF.... TOP MARKS!!!!!GREAT BIKE!!!!

[Carlos]

I fully agree Spike just making a comment, and might I add what a beautiful way with words you have this evening.
'patina'........I would have said authentic but that's just pure poetry amigo. Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice bike! Niiiiiiiiiiiiice words!

I know this is a replica

Mate, it's not a replica. It is exactly how HRC put these bikes out on the track. How Steven has sourced all these parts astounds me. The only replica bit on the bike is the bodywork and pait (I think)

[Spike16]

yes i know but in classic racing terms it would be refered to as a 'replica', i.e. its not the original one with the racing history, eve if its made from 100% original parts the fact it wasnt assembled until however ong ago makes it a rep, but that in no way takes anything away from tha fact its a awesome machine,

[tanuki]

funny thing is spike I bet steve could list you all of the bikes which his bits came off.

Crafars air tubes? LOL

no it wouldn't ,HRC never put this together but the fact it's a full HRC bike to the "kit" spec means it's an HRC bike,split hairs all you like but to me ( and a lot of other poeple on here who's opinions i value) it's the real deal

as i said before to you on the phone steve,top notch bike and i look forward to seeing it in the "flesh"
