In this pic is missing my mates Buell that I'm looking after for him while he is in Afghanistan.

I'll pop another one up later of it looking tidy.
What size tire do you have in the rear it looks massive in the pic?!

Its a 160/60/17 fitted to a VFR750 rear wheel.

I think it looks big as the Dunlop 209 GP tyres don't have much tread on them!!

I've tried emailing Chrisxr from Dyno-pro about Ram-air and waiting to hear back from him. I have most of the bits required anyway - its just the tube itself and some jets that I'll be requiring!

Watch this Space (in a months time when i get back ;) )

Well I'm Back!!

I bought just a few odds and sods while i was away -
some new carb rubbers - very soft and should make carb fitment easy
some spare exhaust studs/nuts
exhaust gaskets
a 46mm socket!
and a proper 'c' spanner for doing the chain adjustments.

I have also got back my pillion seat cowl from my mate who has sprayed it up in white - it looks awesome as its not your standard kinda cowl - pics to follow ;)

Think I'm gonna give the ram -air a miss for the moment - I just want to get out and ride it!

All I have to do now is finish polishing the frame, and pop it all back together - simple!

A step by step 'photo-a-thon' will follow too!

Thanks for the welcomes back! Its good to be here after an eventful tour.

It is very RC30-esque! Looks better in the flesh than these pics too.

I think it was the one you told me about spike - it was from a site member - can't remember who but if it was you thank-you very much!
