Ian's 1400, (bigian14 on the old org)

[bigian14]

Bought mine nearly 4 and a half years ago as a standard K5 apart from Beowulf can and engine bars.
A few extras have been added along the way to it's present form including two colour changes, (second due to dropping torque wrench on tank while it was off on the floor while doing the pairs removal).  Now settled on cobalt blue lacquer over a hydro-dipped snake design on a silver base coat.

Mods to date, as it is now in no particular order:

Tank and tail piece hydro-dipped and cobalt blue lacquer
Side panels cut out and hydro-dipped carbon fibre
Throttle body end covers hydro-dipped carbon fibre
Short carbon fibre front fender, (not sure on brand but possibly Coerce)
Coerce rear-sets
Coerce billet front sprocket cover
Billet fork yokes

Very nice Ian, some thoughtful and tasteful mods there!

[Blubber]

Nice...

Questions about the galespeed wheels:
do these have transmission dampers ( rubbers near the rear sprocket) ?
Are the the gsx1400 specific type or did you choose another type ?

The wheels do have cush drive rubbers although well hidden.  I specified for a GSX 1400 but when they turned up it looks like the wheels are made to fit other bikes but specific spacers and sprocket, (and carrier) etc for the 1400, quite a neat idea really and very well made, not cheap though. Got mine through Calsport in Birmingham, best deal around at the time.
