Re: Newbie! But second R1

I have the originals! And the original pillion seat!

Well spotted!

The exhaust hanger is, I believe, an aftermarket part but made by Yamaha.

Re: Newbie! But second R1

Thanks. Great looking bike.

I had contemplated replacement levers, so thanks for the advice - some on eBay do look a tad cheap and nasty!

Plant to leave it standard otherwise. Will try and get pictures posted soon.

Thanks
