siva's was there - and i saw the mileage the bike had done...

i guess I could post up to it - but my images would not look as good as MY BIKE gets ridden - often and hard!

also, and being totally honest here, my mods have, in the main, been driven by use ability - not by overt bling

I will email rsvr and see what they think

So let me think what I've got:

Installed:
  • Fenda extenda
    Meta Alarm
    Scottoiler
    HID dip beam with headlamp wiring mod
    15t front sprocket
    MPL clutch slave
    Tuono front sprocket cover
    Skidmarx bellypan
    Heated grips (with electronic jiggery pokery I knocked up to turn them off when the ignition goes off and keep them off when you turn the ignition on again)
    Navigation mount with navigation power supply
    Double bubble screen
    PCIII
    Mille 2:1 exhaust with Fuel Hi-mount can
    MilleR oil tank
    Mille oil cooler
    Smoked tail light lens (Greg-D)
    LED tail lights (Nooj)
    Gixer sidestand
    Mille Swingarm
    MilleR Ohlins shock
    K&N filter
    Quick release seat fasteners
Part installed:
  • Head Up Display sender unit
Waiting to be installed:
  • MilleR Ohlins Forks
    Forged Oz wheels
    LED indicators
Stuff gathered but requiring quite a bit of effort
  • Side fairings to be bastardised from the unholy union of Falco & Mille Panels
    Mille bellypan
    Tail tidy
Stuff in the planning stages
  • Rear view camera
    Airbox mod
Probably forgotten something

Not mentioning luggage bits and pieces that need to be sorted before the summer ....

So, one way or another I've still a fair bit to do to get it finished ..... and as it's ridden virtually every day, it's not always easy to find opportunity ....

i had 118 but with a crap map etc

a couple of other things have to be fitted and then I think it will be about the 128 line - and no, am not revealing what I have, but lets just say it is not just a bolt on thing

It has to be some head re-work and/or a big bore kit, maybe some 57mm throttle bodies :smt032

Or, it could just be some go faster stripes :smt018
