They dont do that much for my R1.:(
Although not much more carbon I can put on the R1 at this stage.

They do a few nice bits and bobs for the 996 though.
Might give them a call or an email and see what their best prices would be on some pieces for the 996.:)

Loads of stuff on the way for my fz1 to be delivered over the next few days:

Smoked lense LED brake light
Smoked Indicator lenses for front and back
Motografix kit for the front Fairing
Motografix Tank Pad
Custom Seat Covers
Seat Cowl
Some Decals
Gold color radiator Grill
Silver Rim Tape

Also gonna get the seat cowl and the rear hangars Carbon Hydro Dipped

:D:D

Another ****er to cheap to give a pillion with seat cowl's....ffs


:P

I fitted the side stand from the ''S'' model. Much better after lowering the bike. Also fitted fork protectors from the Triumph 900 and they fit the Honda perfect. Next mod will be crash bars and spotlight & DRL's when the funds allow.

Got my custom seat covers put on today.

I just put them onto the bike there. Tis too dark to nab a good picture though.

Collecting the cowl and hangar from the hydro dip place tomorrow and hopefully my decals for the bike fairing will be here tomorrow too.

Once I have all the mods done I will throw up a few pictures.
Pretty much everything is here just waiting to go onto the bike. Only outstanding parts are the fz1n back part of the lever housings on the bars. The N model housings have mirror clamps built onto them and i want to put Z1000 mirrors into my bike and block off the fairing mirrors.

I'm basically following this thread to find out when he sells the bike :pac:

hahaha!! Ah lads, the only bike i ever invest a lot into like this was my vstrom and that was sold on for a very good reason

Sure the fz1 is only bleedin gorgeous! It deserves all this stuff.
Now if only all these storms would feck off so i can finish modding the bike!

I want first refusal.

Ah sure changing bikes is good for the soul!

Once i have my shed sorted i can see a Busa parked beside fz1 as some stage in the future

The family bus can stay the **** out front while my bike(s) are tucked away in the shed. Nice 12ft deep and 14ft wide shed getting put in soon

Fitted polycarbonate double bubble screen today.
Picked it up off Ebay Germany for 35 euro.:D

Just need to find a good painter now to paint this new screen like the existing oem screen.

Anyone know a good painter/graphic guy?:)

Thanks Stewy. Seemingly the stock seat is not great for long rides. My commute is 50 mins long so its fine for me. There are crash bungs but they are expensive. I know the argument about the initial outlay on crash bungs could save you alot more in comparison to bike damage but when the funds allow my next upgrade will be DRL's & LED spot lights.

Fitted new Conti TKC 70's. One of the best tyres I have used. Got them through Crossans, roughly the same price as Oponeo

Gonna be a busy few hours today!
