    Few pics of the bike I took this morning. Since my last pics post, I've added:

    Ohlins forks
    Ohlins TTX rear
    520 chain converison (-1f +2 rear)
    Samco hoses (work so well in this tropical heat, dropped around 6-7 degs)
    Brembo RCS19 M/C
    Carbon protection (more bling than function)
    Carbon hugger
    Brembo Z04 pads

    and a few others bits and bats

    For those interested, the Ohlins forks I got a very good deal on, so cheap I couldn't refuse (they was half the retail price than here in Singapore). They are brand new (FGRT813's) with SBK valving and also springs to suit my weight. I've yet to try them on the track (going to Sepang in a few weeks). I was thinking originally thinking 25mm/30mm cartridges, but these are super sexy and resale value will be much better.

    Oh need to find a better front number design, old one wasn't really working for me.

    Also looking for a full Ti system as well, just trying to decide what to go for.

    Cheers

    Rich

    Looking really good Rich, the suspension should make a lot of difference on the track.

    Seen some nice plated Brembo billets ;)

    Yeh I've thought about a set of BST's or Marchesini's, but think I'll wait a while! Need to ride the bike more as it is!

    Benn no wheels do mate, BST are stronger than any other wheel, they will shatter on big impacts but so do ANY other wheels in the same situation.. I could show your mate March's that are dead after very small pot holes! And Mag March's (that no one buys as 3.5k plus) are even more sensitive to pot holes and small chips!
