Decided to grind the foot pegs off yesterday. No point in having them on with a single seat conversion


One down and one to go

Grinding will be easier if you first remove the fold out foot rest first, won't take as long as well.
Otherwise , have you thought of the little tie knobs on the underside of the rear frame....they are looking a bit Daggy ?

Hi Alex, yeah I did strip left side peg down and ground it down on a vice, didn't get chance to do other one only cause of kids, and I they unfortunately they needed feeding and putting to bed
Was going to do other side today but chucking down up here, not sure which bit you refering to that daggy tho?

Sold a pair ground back only a few weeks ago and polished up really nice too for a good look plus no problem with strength.
Seen a few flimsy brackets made but ultimately don't hold the weight and vibes of the heavier cans.

Yeah agreed. After chatting to Kayla, who use to make them, she mentioned that there were some problems with them. Couldn't find anything else on the net tho

Good to hear you are putting the little ones first, the daggy things I was looking to are the little knobs sitting under the frame rails next to your exhaust ....kind a like nipples on a bull, the don't do much ..

Cobba is on the money with a good an strong bracket too, done mine the same.

My newly recovered seat arrived the other day




also decided to mark out the lines for the new paint scheme

Looking good - BTW what fairing are you using?

Hi thanks, fairing is original but have fitted (cough) Honda vfr (cough) headlights to it. I wasn't a fan of the TRX headlight and the cafe racer and it just didn't suit me.

Fitted new programmable ecu today (cheers Cobba) 2 minute job, infact took longer to get the bloody panel off than it did to fit it. Not had time to try her out but will be giving her a blast tomoz

Stage 1 of the respray almost complete, just got to order the orange paint and wait for the stickers to arrive before I can mask off the white areas.

Yay...... new custom yokes (from billet bikes) came at the weekend, want get them on but going to have the R1 forks serviced and new springs fitted first, so may have to wait a while. Going to look awesome when they're on





Also got to finish the wing mirror cover plates, was feeling quite patriotic

Respray is going well, now have all three colours sorted and in line, some of the stickers fit and rear end first coat of lacquer on, should be all done by today and riding it tomorrow.........whoop whoop!!

I'm liking the look of this Phil.. Can't wait to see it all finished .. come on tomorrow...
