Was looking at an R1 today... oh man, are you going to have fun fixing the front end :? . I'll certainly look forward to seeing some pics.

Finishing and riding it was the intended plan. :D

By the sharp end,i take it you mean the front end.
Next task,and it aint going to be easy thats for sure.Finding it difficult to relocate the oil cooler to a suitable position.But hey,problems are there to be solved!I am gagging to start the thing up,cant wait to hear it with that straight through system! :P Also need some ideas on mirrors.Dont want anything nasty like motorax etc etc.Lightech do some carbon fibre ones which look OK.Would like something a bit different if possible.
