The Black ones are merely the Bronze/Black beauties without the final lick of paint ..... you know - unfinished.

Thanks all

The fluid pots are mounted on a shelf at the back of the garage, I've replaced them with two lengths of coiled silicon tubing as it was the only way to get the higher bars (mounted over the top yoke) to clear the fairing and screen without hacking even more bits away.

Trouble is that they tend to sweat and let a tiny bit of air in over time, so I'm trying to find some clear flexible tubing with a 6mm ID that will work with hydraulic fluid. I have found a couple of suppliers that do some, but they'll only sell me 30m of the stuff, I need about 30cm.

An RSV swinger to match the frame is being planned, as are some Gilles rearsets, either black or titanium, not decided yet. Hopefully there will be a Renegade big bore exhaust system and some Dyno time in the imminent future as well.

How about the tubing for fish tanks, its available in various widths and some of it is oil resistant.

It's nice to know that my work (OZ Wheels, Gilles Rearsets, Mille Indicators, Wave discs front and rear combo) has been appreciated by someone. The sincerest form of flattery?

....Nice work fella.........

I'm sure "Bling" makes these bikes slower.

I'm hearin yah, so when the rebuilt Mille Ohlins finally gets here it's going straight on with the Mille swinger and thus ridding the machine of the ugly original......just waiting for the postie....

You can talk Huggy Bear, you might as well write 'Pimptastic' on the side of your bike with all the bolt-ons it's had nailed to it...........Not that i'm slaggin it you understand, Rich did a mint job and it is/was a real beaut (apart from the pink rim stripes that is)..........
