I would be ok with the rear only going 1000 miles coz it feels really good. Don't think I have ever had as much confidence with my tyres as I do with these.
Fitted a Dan Moto muffler, it does sound a lot better now and not quite as loud.
Got a new FPR and it now revs out, starts cold really well and gets me a lot further on a tank of fuel! So it must have been shit from the early days over fuelling it mainly at higher revs.

Yes it is. Its the busa upper fairing, chopped and turned upside down.
I still need to do a decent paint job on it. Maybe this winter.

Hey hey I found some "spare" time to hide in the shed and fit some new indicators to the back end!
And also take a pic of the dash with the new matching tacho fitted.
