Hi all I've recently got back in to riding I haven't rode for 5 yrs and decided to treat my self to a 2014 r1. I previously had a r6 and loved it a house move & baby son forced the sale of it. the bike is standard apart from a set of akropovic cans and asv levers I'm looking to colour code the ram air intakes if anyone knows where I could get these from please let me know, also if anyone's in the Birmingham/Black Country and fancies a ride I could always do with someone to ride with bearing in mind I'm back to being a newb (If I could figure out out to attach a photo I would )
I'm not used to forums so if I mess up sorry in advance

Welcome to the forum Andy, you have a cracking bike there, your sone really seems to be liking it, my grandson is the same , good opening post for someone who doesn't use forums and pics eventually too .

Craig, aka Chappo is right, he is as thick as pig sh!t, but to be fair, he is a decent bloke

Monkey face, aka Jompy is our helpful resident primate and one of the bosses so we have to be nice to him

Colon aka Locke is not an @rse but a really nice chap and he loves his bangers with ackrapovic's, mind you so do I, the sound track is music to my ears, something my new bike just can't match

So welcome to the forum, any questions just ask, oh good luck in sorting getting your air intakes colour coded, could you send them off to dream machine, they painted a seat cowl for me and it was a perfect match.

Join in the banter and have a laugh, welcome

Stephen

Welcome to the forum Andy

Hi Andy, welcome in. Enjoy your big bang.

Welcome to the forum pal

Cheers for all the messages everyone, I'm totally addicted I set out with a Freind yesterday for a quick last in the sun shine left Birmingham at 3.30pm got a bit carried away long story short ride down and round the black mountains in Wales and back home through the Brecon got home around 10pm lol i was still smiling when I got home 345miles later

Just a quick blast then
A couple of years or so ago the Mrs blagged me a free pair of S20's and galfers at a big discount so I'd fitted them & decided to sub the tyres & bed the brakes in by taking a ride from Derby to surprise visit Jen in Aberystwyth one week day evening , I got in about midnight

It's just lucky my wife is understanding haha being a true wimp I've had it a few weeks and it was the first time I put it into A mode and I was more than shocked at the difference in throttle response, again face hurting from smiling I've defo nailed straight line rocket impressions

Sounds lie money well spent , glad your happy
