South West Bikers | Motorcycle Forum

hello everyone, been a while since ive sat down and posted anything on here,

thought id let you all in on my little project,

so last week i decided my fireblade needed a bit of a tidy up after the horrible winter, problem was, where do i do it....hmmm,
somehow i ended up with the bike in the lounge of my rented one bedroom flat in newquay, (with cream carpets).

so here i am today, with my bike in bits, no plastics, tank, back wheel, seats, exhaust, chain.... and so on,

well, fingers crossed, begining of next week i will be the proud owner of an r1 backend (subframe, plastics, light, seats and undertray)

and so the project begins!!!!

ill get some pics up tomorrow when im back at my flat, and ill keep everyone posted,

just ordered chain and sprockets and some dunlop qualifiers

Bet you're not looking forward to the knock on the door from your landlord doing a quick 'routine' inspection!

well fingers crossed he doesnt, if not ive got some explaining to do as to how its not a bike and its just the for decoration

Nice,ive always loved the original chubby-looking blades!

few more pics up, im taking them on my phone so its easier just to send them to facebook so that first link will show you all the pics so far

Nice bike mate, don't forget you can post your project on http://www.tracklocations.com/forum/for ... y.php?f=12

R1 back end is turning up on thursday and my tyres have just gone in the post hoping im back on the road soon, bloody hate the bus lol

POSTING UP THE PICS IN BIKE PICS SECTION!!!!!!!!!

FINISHED !!!!!! just need my show plate :D

Looks good.
I think this is where I got my plate made up http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/QUALITY-CAR-BIKE- ... 20af7b3b34

Be warned if it is the same place then on a rear plate it will not put any white on it as the must be printed some how.

i.e. I had St. Georges cross so just got a red cross on the yellow background.

looks nice mate, suits the lines of the bike quite well. Bet your landlord loves you
