Just an update on mine I have
fitted new cans - fooking loud
carbon belly pan
undertray
LED tail lights
smaller plate
ready to go on
SP1 front brakes
GSXR K6 master cylinder and lever
I only intended to fit the Blank plates...Generalyy I refuse to touch bike plastics... After thinking it out I took the plunge & fitted the Blanking plates then decided to go the whole hog and replaced the LED. Not for the faint hearted. All went back together very well...
Thanks for your offer Stu 8-)[/quote]
No worries - told you it was a doddle - looks like I've accidently volenteered myself to do someone a custom led light on carbon fibre tails section :-/

Yep - I am currently playing with various types of exhausts to see what I like - currently twin high level, next single low, then trying single high (both sides incase I decide to do single swing arm if it doesn't become a track bike)

I'll give you a sound off once I've sorted my hanger out - be good to see if mine are loud ;)
LED light you need to take off the bulb holder from your old one
Yeah pop in anytime (don't hit the post next time :P)

Re: Whats your latest Modification & Why?
just fitted a new avon AM26 Roadrider rear tyre to the old tbird,now bearing in mind the bike is 52yrs old it was a toss up between an avon SM for that authentic look or a modern tyre with the benifits in handling.
glad i went for the roadrider as the bike used to track at the slightest change in road surface ie grooves/roadworks etc,and i havent noticed it yet with the new tyre so think i will change the speedmaster i have up front for a roadrider aswell [smiley=happy.gif]

Re: Whats your latest Modification & Why?
A week or so ago the LED rear light I ordered arrived, and here are some before and after shots.

http://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos..._8246581_n.jpg
And then today, finally I have got round to changing my indicators from the huge ugly standard ones to some tiny (in comparison) LED ones.
http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos..._5644507_n.jpg
http://photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos..._3206750_n.jpg
Seems I put the front two on 180 degrees the wrong way round so will turn them over tomorrow, and just have to wait for the new relay to arrive so they don't flash quick enough to trigger a fit in an epileptic. But its amazing how much just these tiny changes has altered the look of the whole bike!
Next, the silencer, and then I am done with mods.

Re: Whats your latest Modification & Why?
A pair of brand new Arata cans now adorn my R1, replacing the Micron cans that came with the bike.
They give off a lovely sound and look far better than the Microns 8-)
Also got some black CRG levers to fit as well. Foldable jobbies like I had on my 6r.
Apart from some new tyres (power one's maybe....2CT's at least) and maybe a new screen, that is it for me and the bike for the forseeable future.
