Before I begin, my apologises to community for turning this thread into a build thread which is now in the wrong spot. So if any admins would be kind enough to move it for me, that would be much appreciated
Back again with some more pictures.
First of all, the fairing that was on it in the pictures above were temp ones, now that my full fairing kit arrived from skidmarx the bike looks better than ever! Skidmarx make AMAZING glove fitting fairings so a big thumbs up to Skidmarx
Here's a cheapo can I bought from Egay, sounds really nice and is fully S/S
A new rear brake pedal was also bought as the other 1 sheared off by the toe bit.
Next is the rear caliper, now this wasn't part of my accident but the old 1 was pretty much fooked. I bled the rear brake back in Feb and when I tightened the nipple, the casting just cracked in half! Oops! So yet again, bought a S/hand 1 from Egay from a L5, bought a new seal and piston kit for it, sprayed it all up in metallic HT gold paint and here it is! (New allen bolts jazzed it up a bit too)
Now these S/S headers also weren’t part of my accident but they are well worth the money and my old 1s were starting to look a bit on the shabby side. These neatened up quite nicely and sound awesome! The main point in this photo is the new engine mount bracket which only cost £13 squid from Cradleys. The old 1 quite literally exploded into a million pieces on impact. There was so many bits of it on the road, I honestly couldn't be arsed to pick them all up.
I also had to rebend the metal bracket that connects from the rad to the engine which holds the RH side fairing on, these were easily accomplished using 2 handy lock grips.
Next is the front nose fairing which was torn to pieces from the heavy drop and slide. Skidmarx to the rescue! Perfect fit and no filing/sanding required.
Also a new RH white mirror was fitted and certainly looks and works better then not having 1 at all. Also added some very very neat front fairing LED indies which are amazing bright and defiantly won’t be missed.
Next up, the side fairings. These also fit like a glove and I really only needed a drill to make the pilot holes bigger to fit the rubber grommets. I also had to cut out a lil rectangle shape of fibreglass from the underneath as I think Skidmarx forgot to cut that bit.
That’s it for now
Next up is the screen made by Powerbronze.
I'll post some more images when some more parts arrive.
