    You're really putting some graft into your bike Triple N, so I hope the weather rewards you for all your efforts mate.

    Daytona: drove even further away from it...again. I have rear sets, carbon fibre, throttle grip to fit. Worried it wont start I havent ridden it for so long.

    Gixxer will be getting new brake pads and a quick action throttle soonish.
     
  10. I have evotech radiator guard, carbon sprocket cover and 2wheels levers to fit today :shock: will let you know how I get on and how many pieces I have left over when I think I'm done! :D :D :D
     
  11. spent a good while drilling out the snapped top radiator bolt, only to discover that its not the frame it screws in to but the steering damper so couldve saved meself a good bit of time if i'd looked at it first :roll: ..still, all fixed now with a bolt and nut..refitted everything else and theres no bits left over..just need to re fill coolant and get her booked in for mot :smileup:

    I love the RC8. A mate on tankslap has one. He's forever got a grin in his face when he's out. Those things stomp out of corners.
     
  13. Went for a nice hoon today with legacey and big.h!! Absolutely love the rc8r!!
     
  14. Once picked it up went for a blast, loved every minute of it. Rear is bow bedded in.

    Set up a paddock look outside the house so could clean the bike and fix the scooter
