HI there ,

I come from Hawick and knew Hizzy personally, cracking looking bike good to see folk still remember :D

[Spike16]

yeh, he was a great man, my painter even managed to copy his signature onto the tank which im well impressed with

il be getting the front and rear number boards done in the new year so watch this space

[brooky]

is the signature painted on or in vinyl?

[superlite]

Looks like vinyl in the pic.

[Spike16]

its painted with a clear vinyl sticker put ontop to protect if from any possible scratches (as he said it was a thin layer of paint and if scratched would scratch could scratch through the paint easily) and is then lacyred over

the only part im not happy about is the hizzy stickers on the screen, they came from the image works and i have been told by another graphics peron that they have not been 'covered' with a clear vinyl after after they were printed and will fade in the sun over time

hopefully will be getting the numberboards done before xmas now too which is great

[brooky]

why what colour are the screen stickers?

[Spike16]

there black and white printed saying hizzy and then a scottish flag

[Spike16]

some piccies of the new brakes, the cbr600 master cylinder is mahooosive! only just clears the fairing




but they will be coming off again soo as you may be able to see the lines are not routed correctly, they came all connected witth the fluid n so just put them but i will take the lines off and route them behind the throttle cables and clamped to the stanctions as the originals were. + one of the resevoir bolts needed to be drilled out and replaced before i could take the cap off (but thats done now)


I also fitted a shark fin to get the bike ready for trackdays (i know its not needed) and possible racing, shown here



I also got a earth wire upgrade kit that is suposed to help alot which i will fit when i next take the fairing off

still to go on

rearsets, braided line through swingarm fold away pillion pegs 520 chain and sproket kit and lots of little things

update on painting front is the bike should be going back to painters before xmas to have number boards and number 11's put on and lacyred over

What exactly is the fin for?
