carbon tank filler cover
carbon tail tidy,
clear rear led light
gsxr decals for the wheels,
will update when i get some new parts added,just need to let the mudguard dry so i can get it fitted tomorrow and hopefully kill some flies:p

[Hoochie]

hopefully kill some flies:p

Oh there's nothing quite like scraping off an explosion of green n red gunk from a freshly polished visor...:d
Be nice to see it all finished though.

Oh i so wish i'd taken my DAS now:(

Need a hugger and a front wheel guard, but looks good.

Front end in general looks odd. I think its the conventional forks. Should it not have USD forks?

[davidfox280585]

yes i know pete, i painted the front guard today and they dont have a hugger as standard, the 600 comes with conventional forks the 750 with silver usd's and the 1000 has gold usd's hoping to be out tomorrow :-)

My cousin has a set of K1 750 forks, yokes and calipers if your interested.

Nice project.

Miss my bike so much! really want another, but need to finish the nova first.

if they were cheap then maybe but dont want to throw too much money into it:thumb:
front mudguard fitted today,went to my old work (motorbike shop and breakers) and used there spares for a few screws and clips i were short,
fitted my rear stand bobbins and the chain guard which mine incidentally flew off when the chain snapped,
came home to my gsxr wheel stickers so fitted them,also aquired a grab rail:p

gave it some beans this afternoon with the new sprockets and my gish it doesnt half fly:)
so just awaiting all my carbon decals and pieces to come now and todays pics
