Honest opinion coming – I really liked the bike before you started

I can totally respect what you have done, that’s a great deal of love, time and money poured into your baby, but there’s just far too much carbon fibre, it looks odd now. Personally I think c/f has its place when modifying a bike, but in small amounts.

The parts themselves look like real high quality, that nose cone for example looks great, but I still cannot help think how much better it looked standard…

If the carbon parts were painted up, maybe back to standard livery, and an Akrapovic carbon Evo can fitted, I personally think it would look 10x better than how it sits now.

Edit: maybe leave that nose cone as bare carbon

For a minute there I thought this would be a good thread, then I remembered this is OCUK and someone has posted up a fast bike.

Rear plate illegal surely?

Thanks for pointing out a single, highly important topic to discuss here.
Why would you care about that? Does he contribute in anyway to making your life worse by running a smaller rear number plate? No.

Nice bike, shame about the way it's driven

iaind said:
He's posted videos of him acting like a complete tool on it before - wound a few people up and the thread got locked pretty quickly

Coz we all drive bikes don't we... He's posted some shots of him riding his bike and having fun on it. Do you overclock your PC so you can play solitaire on it? No.

Just wondering what these mods have done to your track lap times ?

I see what did you there. Very clever. :rolleyes:

Does he need to achieve a certain laptime for you to deem it ok to mod his bike how he wants to? No.

Troll elsewhere.

I've ridden a gixxer 750 with quickshifter and it's a very weird feeling, but the rate of acceleration you can maintain is crazy

Just my opinion but I personally find clutchless shifts fast enough with a serious cash saving

Also would never get used to reverse shifts - not that you necessarily have to run it like that.

Anyway to the OP, ignore the above muppets. Nice bike. I pesonally think you've gone so far with the carbon theme, that it's hard to make it look good unless you get the entire tank done in carbon. Then it would look better imo.
Enjoy it and continue to ride it properly.

Most probably yes mate, I missed a set last week that ended on eBay for £800, BST's. But they were for a K5 1000 and didn't know if they'd fit.

Looks a lot better with the white tank mate. What you doing with last bit of blue. White or carbon? I think white myself but you do like your carbon

Yoshimitsu · 19 Jul 2010 at 20:27

They're already ordered mate.

Carbon. Should be arriving from the states any minute.

isset · 19 Jul 2010 at 20:30

Tot up all those receipts and you could probably buy an 1198S!

(Still, very nice

)

In fact, about how much has this project cost you?

I tell you what.

All of you have a guess on how much in total this has cost....

I dare you..............................

isset · 19 Jul 2010 at 21:34

Well that's more than an 1198S then!

Yoshimitsu · 19 Jul 2010 at 21:35

Have an honest guess mate.

Just for mods only then everybody guess how much this project has cost me.

isset · 19 Jul 2010 at 21:40

My guess is 17k, assuming you got the bike new for ~£10k

Maccapacca · 19 Jul 2010 at 22:01

I am liking the more you put on, all or nothing I think in my book

Fireskull · 19 Jul 2010 at 22:14

Hmmmm I guess around 14k

Looks good, be good when the final bit of blue is gone
