Hi ,
I don't actually own an R1 but own 2 thunderace, the daddy of R1
One of my bikes is undergoing a rebuild an upgrade and has a R1 5PW tail section ready to fit once I source a 5PW subframe or the dimensions of the 5PW subframe so I can alter the Thunderace subframe
Thanks Paul

Ace was clean till some old bloke saw fit to cut me up on a roundabout! Zero mph collision but couldn't stop bike falling over! Few minor scuffs to fairings but insurance wrote it off!
So I got the salvage off them, bought another frame with clean V5 hence the rebuild, polishing frame and wheels etc, full respray and R1 rear end!
