Newbie needing help

After dropping a valve guide on my o4 R1 at Cadwell park last week, I bought a 2011 Big Bang. Currently getting a power commander and set up.
My old R1 had some great mods, the best being a set of Bembo Calipers. I was really hoping I could get an adaption kit to fit the 108mm to 130mm, unfortunately this cant be done.
What brake mods have you done to yours?
Up for grabs, I now have HPK Bembo Calipers,Yoshi Titanium cans, power commander, Gilles black rear sets Gilles black chain adjusters and a great looking yellow anniversary race fairing complete with matching tank. Various other bits, but until I rebuild and put the bike back to standard I wont know what else I could sell.

Looking forward to your banger upgrade.
There are guys here who will have those bits but as Sam said, please try to contribute to the forum.
Respect dude. [WINKING FACE]

Welcome along Geoff. Sorry to hear about your old bike but you have bought a better one. (Dons the flame retarded suit....)
What type of flooring do you lay ? I'm also in the flooring trade but the prep side.

The 04 is in quite a few bits at the moment with the head at a specialist shop. Luckily for me the guide went at the start of the last session at tic over, so limited damage. My problem will be remembering where it all goes after the four week turn around. Not rebuilt an engine since my gsxr 750 wt.
