| My baby My 2004 R1, started life as Kenny Pride's (Superbike magazine) long termer, after his year of pampering the R1 I bought her from Yamaha. She was grey originally, and I bought a carbon fibre rear end, mud guards (fenders), chain guard, side panels, air box cover. I fitted a power commander, carbon Quill T3 cans, Renthal sprockets changing the gearing 2 teeth up on the rear and down a tooth on the front. I swapped body work with my friends blue R1 as he wanted the silver and I fancied the blue My bike was now blue I fitted custom levers, grips, suede seats, black double bubble, Black forks from the States, Galfer Discs, Velocity Stacks, Diamond racing rear sets, etc etc... I wanted a custom paint job and a nieghbour helped me to spray her, I went for yellow to compliment the carbon. I fitted a Leo Vince exhaust system, velocity stacks and mapped the power commander, incredible power gains! Not entirely happy with the yellow I changed the panels over with a set I bought on ebay real cheap, my baby is currently RED I am sure the colour will change again, and I enjoy working on her... I spoke too soon she went back to yellow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

| haha my bike is black, i dont think ive crashed too much!!
if u want a high vis bike make it with the police battenberg...its pefectly legal...and wear a white helmet and a high viz jacket.....and then suddenly every car driver will start to give you way!
also for ur tank...if u can do it in carbon fibre or a flat colour like BLACK [once again, black is superior!] then you wont have to worry too much about it everytime you respray! | |
