Hi there, I think this is my first post even though I've been registered a while. Anyway, thought I'd show you my bike. I think this is how you'd have liked your bike to be back in 98 after having purchased one lol... Mods to date : Beringer Aeronal iron discs Carbon Lorrainne sbk pads Goodridge lines front and rear Ohlins front fork springs Spondon clipons Ohlins steering damper with Harris fitting kit Full micron ss exhaust Factory pro ignition advancer Barnett clutch conversion Ohlins rear shock Renthal sprockets (1 down at front) DID chain, soon to be changed for a gold R&G crash protectors Speedo healer and thats it for now! oh and sorry for the grubby wheels and bits of dirt here and there, I've been riding it to work lol

Could do if you fancied, but it is old, and its also in need of a new seal at one end really... sometimes makes the odd drop of oil !

I think I have to let you all in on a little secret, that tyres been worked by a friend of mine as a qualifier, then passed on to me as a cheap road tyre! :crash Ideally I'll get it all smoothed off again soon by my own riding, which should have happened last year but it was only not raining for about 6 days last year lol. So I'm no real hero there lol - it doesnt mean I'm slow though! :rock
