Newbie D4ddyC

Post by D4ddyC »

Hi I’m new to the site, recently bought a R1 5pw after 3 years out of riding (wasn’t a choice was knocked off). Had gsxr 600/750, zx6r, r6 in the past but always wanted the R1.

Got the bike home and set about eBay with the following parts.

Tail tidy
New smaller plate
Flush indicators
Rear all in 1 light
15f 44r chain and sprocket set up
Medium grey renthal grips

Getting new rubber and the wheels powder coated due to the common front wheel peel

Next on the list is the following, if you have any PM me happy to travel and purchase or use eBay.

Akrapovic or yoshi exhaust can
Power commander
Tinted screen

Any other ideas what would go well on the bike.

Have a great week all... I’ll get a pic and future pics uploaded asap
