Thanks for the welcomes :)
Everyone knows the blue ones are fastest :lol:
Yes Ohlins rear shock which has just had full service, Ohlins steering damper & forks have been resprung/valved for my weight as I'm a bit of a flyweight :D .
As I said I'm trying to source info on changing the bushes in the forks but I'll start a post in relevant section :)

Yeah, but not as fast as red ones, eh, red ? [emoji3]

Welcome to the forum mate and what a beautiful, cough, cough, blue R1 you have, I love the way you have moulder the slow blue Audi TT into the tank / seat unit in the picture [emoji3]

Please forgive my strange sense of humour, not enough (fast) red wine,

Seriously, your bike is beautiful, enjoy her and welcome to the forum
