Hi ,

I don't actually own an R1 but own 2 thunderace, the daddy of R1
One of my bikes is undergoing a rebuild an upgrade and has a R1 5PW tail section ready to fit once I source a 5PW subframe or the dimensions of the 5PW subframe so I can alter the Thunderace subframe
Thanks Paul

Ace was clean till some old bloke saw fit to cut me up on a roundabout! Zero mph collision but couldn't stop bike falling over! Few minor scuffs to fairings but insurance wrote it off!
So I got the salvage off them, bought another frame with clean V5 hence the rebuild, polishing frame and wheels etc, full respray and R1 rear end!

Silly old feckers don't know when it's time to stop driving grrr - at least it's given u the impetus to start a bit of a project - don't forget before and after pics
