The [R] One.

[F2thaK]

Okay since my original thread was deleted as I was a bad boy, I won't be re-doing it completely.

In short, I used to have an 2001 R1. Loved it. Had to sell it.

A few months later I got a 2007 model and wanted to sorta make it like my old one.

its funny when i read your old R1 thread, i felt sure you were off the boat from China
But it appears from the pics you are a cracker
Perhaps better grammer this time round.

When are you ordering your special "blue" master link, its letting down the whole package

[F2thaK]

haha

nah, aussie born and bred mate.

not sure if I can get a blue master link, will have to look into it.
edit: cannot get one, but it helps when I lube the chain as a start/finish point.
doesnt bother me

got plans for more MODs once funds are available..
(paint all fairings blue, custom R1 logo, black rearsets/rear footpegs, etc)

[marquis]

nice package

[F2thaK]

Mock-up of what I want to do with the fairings.. Except I will paint main fairing (with R1 logo) blue also, and get custom R1 logos.
(Wheel stripes are also missing from photo, will keep them)

[F2thaK]

black rearsets
black pillion pegs (powdercoat?)
ultra white headlight globes

How many k's have you done on the Drive Systems sprockets? I'm looking at getting them for the kit im about to order.

[F2thaK]

get 'em! (my front one is actally generic) done about 3-4000 k's... no probs.

Never get tired of looking at R1's, just a awesome machine.

[F2thaK]

getting some exhaust wrap to cover exhaust and frame. will need to use steel zip ties for exhaust and double sided tape for frame...

going to remove these heat shields, will look better without em I think.

Just need a bracket to hold rear brake fluid container

[F2thaK]

made some progress.......



got heat shield wrap and SS ties, in progress of painting ties black.

to solve my reservoir problem, thinking of making HRC style ressies front and back. thread here

[F2thaK]

Todays efforts:

-removed pillion pegs
-heat wrapped exhaust

[ninjaa]

Nice
What's next?

[F2thaK]

Tomorrow: ride then wash it


Next after that: sort out rear brake reservoir. ATM its zip tied in place, which is very trendy

[F2thaK]

ordered some ultra white halogen bulbs from

Kryptonbulbs.com HID kits, Blue Headlights, Quality Products

[F2thaK]
