Bike looks bloody fantastic although I'm surprised you still have standard shocks on it.

Apart from the preload adjuster they look like standard units to me, what are they?

Hi
Nope. I used gsxr1000K1, extended 60mm and hidden under shrouds. Made up out of damaged ebay buys broken lugs minor srapes. ended up with busa top tubes R1000 lowers (under the shrouds) That way I kept my standard wheel, spindle, discs and calipers. Well for a while as I've changed to 4 pots. Busa are 90mm caliper mounts. Best option now though is to use gen2 radial busa as I think you can retain every thing but the calipers, b king look good, aprilla nice as well. Just depends how much you want to spend> you can make anything fit. Current standard parts left on the front end are. Wheel, spindle, switchgear stem and top nut. well as of 7.30 ;)

Hi
Had to take pics for this years insurance. Comp with recovery, agreed value etc £340. I,m ok with less than £1 a day. My x reg bmw 523i costs more and its 50hp less. Actually they never actually asked the power after turbo fitting but All mods are declared. No small task. Love the yellow wheel but need at least a wipe over after every outing.

Cheers
Phil
