Here you go Rodger this should help you with posting picks .


Now your problem with the R1 !
1st step is to take off that nice shinny plastic sh!te fairing , wrap it up & stick it in the loft !
2nd step is to flat bar it & then you'll be nice & comfy , the added bounus is you won't scratch that expensive plastic

Dont people just do that after they crash? I thought they were just poor and couldn't afford a replacement...

Errrr i think your right luke but then i skipped that stage & didnt fall off it ( can hardly call it a crash ) till much later lol

Jompy seems to be the Sweeney Todd of the biking world...... I thought you had binned your bike mate to get that look..... Not done it on purpose

Rodger, glad things are beginning to come together

Rodger it's about £10 for an oem clutch plate & you need 8 & I could be wrong but after my experience I'd change the spring first see if it's still slipping & then change the plates

My sv1000 was the sz model. Gsxr anniversary one. Unfortunately it was a cat c when I bought it. Only changes I did was the end cans. Already had gsxr1000 upside down forks. Loads of torque but completely different to the r1. And it had straight bar conversion.

Yeah they were tuned a bit those if I remember rightly. I've just about sorted the suspension back to more or less stock settings on mine, the chap before me had everything wound in, out and all shaken about and it handled like sh!te. It wants to go round corners now which is a novelty haha! Seen an USD front end for sale on Ebay that I'm imming and ahhing about!
