Just saying hey!
I went and bought myself an R1 5VY track bike last weekend with a host of goodies already installed:
Maxton fork internals
Ohlins shock
AP Racing calipers
Brembo master cylinder
PC3
Dynojet QS
Gilles rearsets
Akra headers
Micron race pipes
It has some minor battle scarring and needs a bit of TLC as it's been down the road (track) and laid up for a while but nothing that can't be sorted. I've got as far as listing the jobs that need doing and ordering a load of stuff from ebay, the wife will be pleased with all the boxes arriving in the next week or so!

Re: Joined the R1 family
Thanks guys. I'll definitely be doing some before and after photos, not that I know what I'm doing so the after shots might look worse than before!

Re: Joined the R1 family
Welcome in Matt and welcome to the mad house, looking firward to watching the rebuild in the project section, as peeps say post some pics, we love pics on here.
Oh and you will definitely need a sense of humour, wot with all the banter and p!ss taking that goes on here. If you have any questions just ask anyone.... Well apart from Jompy, or monkey face as he is known as by his own admission he is wank when it comes to bikes..... But that is a whole other story. So welcome in
