    Awesome! I really rate them. Same on both bikes.
    Good fit, flexible where you need it and fantastic paint job!
    Know what design you're after??

    got a few idea's up my sleeve,unlike anything anyone has ever seen on a race bike (hopefully) ;-) I'm leaning more towards a wrap, but still not 100% sure which avenue i'll take

    Should ask him if he wants to sell his ZX10R to me

    It's been a long road to recovery but I'm happy to say, I'm now back to within half a second of my pre-injury lap times!
    Just in time for the race weekend at Phillip Island next week!!

    Possibly the last progress update from auction to race bike....

    Decided to plasti-dip the wheels red:


    Next bit of race prep is time to lockwire...



    First, the caliper bolts....



    After flushing the coolant out with demineralised water, also drilled out the Radiator cap...


    Oil filler cap...


    As it's an R6, there's a dipstick to do...


    Filter and sump plug...


    ..and last but not least, the grips!



    Fitted some wets, now she's ready for for the trip down to race at Phillip Island!!


    Thanks for all the kind words along the way, folks!!
    Also, mission accomplished with the bones healing!! Seems building bikes is the best medicine!!
    As you could guess, it's been awesome fun building this. Hopefully the first of many!!

    Will do, mate. I ran it on my car rims for more than a year without issue.
    Even the wheel nuts were fine coated and taken on and off a few times.
    The key was letting it set/dry for a long time before using.

    The pics make it look like everything was perfectly straightforward!
    Not pictured are all the times I got frustrated, stuffed up and had to do things all over again!!

    So true. I should start a thread of all the bullshit I encounter with mine. The simplest of things keep turning into nightmares.. Had OEM sprockets put back on, go to fit the chain and discover its too short... Thanks bikeshop apprentice for cutting 3 chain links off when swapping my tyres over!?
