Hi Aussie, I'm after a set of side cover rubbers, the ones at the top that slip over the bend up tabs, yours look new ?
That bike's looking beautiful, your patience is admirable.

Let s not forget....what separates one bikes top end speed from the other......IS ....."the color of the bike".
Another thing we do know....IS......the color "Red".....and its tones and variants is the fastest color.
And that fact.... (Lou) .....is yet another reason that the macho maroon standard will always be faster than a black rh.
 ;)  :D  ;D

Same headlight, same end bar mirrors our bikes are almost identical. Hope you choose a different Color to me.

This is how you lose those extra Kgs...........
I particularly like that you can now also use the fuel tank as an ashtray. Something the boffins who design motorcycles always leave out.
And finally someone has egonomically designed a seat for nadger comfort.
Also note the efficient release of exhaust gasses.
Easy to inspect anything on the go.
Plenty of nooks and crannies for those smaller travel items.

hey Paul
I won't have finite dimensions until I get the machine onto the ground and set up the suspension - it's still on the centre stand and jack stand,
neither wheel is touching the ground atm
I will let you know rake/trail/wheelbase as soon as I have them.

I went with this for the rear brake light switch (had it with the spring loaded thing - haven't had an operating rear brake light for years)
