i hope you dont ride in the rain...pirelli dragon tyres are notorious for being utterly crap in the slightest rain.

Some more pictures, of when a friend (and the local mechanic) and I balanced the carbs, changed the exhaust system and did other bits.

If I can get a group buy, a couple of companies have said theyll try. Ive sent pictures of the parts they want and am awaiting a response. Failing that, ill just get a trim. HC Racetech can do their fairing kits in cf, but itd come geel coated, not with the weave showing, which, although you buy cf for lightness, you kinda wanna see the weave...
