So this is where I started.


Excellent amounts of power but wow, terrible brakes. Especially after being used to Brembo OEM from my RSV.



First thing to sort, full brake conversion. Pictures aren't the finished article as I moved to 310mm rotors but you get the idea.


I decree this to be the worst tail tidy known to man. One £5 eBay jobby later and...


This area seems to be cluttered. Let's fix that.


Some simple jiggery pokery and an excellent result. Yes, there's a Translogic QS4 in there but I'd gather by now we all know what they look like.


Random backfires off the throttle and no real use, so you're coming out.


Much better.


Just to add, Pipercross air filter has been thrown in, R1 throttle tube, dual compound pro grips and a fine F.Fabri DB screen which was won for a bargain £20. PC3 going in shortly and it's well on its way to being the bike I want it to be.

Thanks for the offer but I don't like to ride other peoples bikes, if I dropped it I wouldn't forgive myself and I know what it feels like to have someone drop your pride and joy > ,I will just have to save and buy one.

I know that feeling. My mate owns a rider training school in Brackley and as a giggle with my son being off school on summer hols we put him through a CBT on Friday. (he is 11).

Absolutely pissed the CBT so let him have a play while we picked the cones up and began to write out a fake certificate.

Not a nice feeling when you hear a loud scraping noise and then a thud as the scooter hits the curbOuch 
My boys fine (pride took a bit of a hit) but the scooter has a bent steering stemAngry
MAY THE FORCE NOT SEE YOU

It's been a long time coming because of moving 160 miles down the road for Uni but some progress is being made.

So far.

Nissin Monoblock Calipers
Nissin Radial M/C
310mm Discs
R+G Tail Tidy
Exhaust Valve Servo Removed
Air Re-circulation Blocked Off
Pipercross Air Filter
Mivv Carbon GP
OEM Seat Cowl
F.Fabbri DB Screen
Translogic QS4 


Rearsets, clip ons, QR fuel cap all on order. Got a Domino XM2 QAT sitting here that I need to make up some throttle cables for and hopefully find a PC3 sooner rather than later to tie some of this together.

Apart from the Translogic QS4, they're the best thing I've done. The stock brakes had me sh*tting bricks while these have lots of power and feel.

Yep it's a nice feeling when you grab that lever and your retinas want to detach, the qs is a great mod and one of my favourites.

Looking forward to getting the rest sorted. This thing is nuts and I love it. Cool

Something in the rear should be changing by the end of the month.

He raved about the zx10 and r1.liked the bmw engine but it was the zx10 that blew him away.

Possibly my fave bike to date.

I did a full ZX6R (09) front brake swap, was lush. Unfortunately some knobber drove across 2 lanes of opposite traffic without looking and I hit is rear quarter which wrote it off Cry

Valter Moto fixed rearsets. I've had a good look over them and there are little details here and there which I've not noticed on sets I've had before.
