    Very nice - can you send details of the bars (code, difference in bike feel with them) - could work well on my R1

    Very different bike to the Blade - won't say better just different , they really hide their speed like nothing else I've ridden

    Got a 62 plate which according to Restone 'looks like its been ram-raided through Halfords sticker section' - or its got a Cal Crutchlow replica decal kit on it

    I may remove the #35 and leave it as Tech3 - not sure yet

    Done almost nothing - Quill cans and decat pipe plus tail tidy is the lot

    Hope to have 2013 clear indicator lenses going on soon to freshen it up a little - maybe a QS

    How about some Watsen flushmounts. You can see mine here. Normally you would colour match to fairing, but I thought white looked better than red on mine.

    I changed my lenses on my 09 Big Bang to clear and took a chance and bought some 07 R1 lenses cheap on eBay and Wahey they fitted perfect
