Hey, so ive had my r1 for just over a year now and been reading forums for some time. I best thought its time to start chatting to you guys
Just a bit about me: names Christian, from Bristol, Ive been riding for around 5 years, started on a r6 (04 plate) and then I bought my dream bike back in August last year the 2010 r1... and yes I do commute on her every day
I am bit of a modaholic the list so far (off the top of my head)
R&G rear sets
Akapovic cans and Y pipe
ECU flash @ 162bhp (I do have dyno if anyone is interested)
BMC race air filter
zero gravity coursa screen
ASV shorty leavers
R&G tail tidy
small LED indicators front and back
Carbon front mud guard
Hel brake lines
Probably more.. and a lot more to come
Pics to follow when ive cleaned her
