    Not sure that I agree with orange wheels, but that's the joy of personal choice!;)

    Still like @Muffking 's Castrol, mainly because the 04 - 07s have more fairing than the 08 - 11s.

    Thanks mate, was thinking of taking the yamaha off the road and turning it into a track bike.

    Looks too good for that. Probably worth more as it is - both for financials AND enjoyment.

    I agree. It started out as a Repsol :confused:, I will repaint them or change them one day to a less ugly color.

    Somebody mentioned dipping as an alternative to painting recently though i cant vouch for the finish from my own experience.

    I've heard of that too, but I've heard it can chip easily too, although I dont have any personal experience on it. I will probably sand them down and paint them properly or if I have any spare money buy some 2012-on wheels for a bit of weight reduction.

    I've made no secret about how much I like mine. But your paint is extra-special. I am sure the late Mr Soichiro Honda designed my tri-colour from a stick of friggin' Brighton Rock:rolleyes:.

    I am a rutter fan and when hunting for one along with full honda service it sealed the deal. I am tempted with a set of moriwaki suzuka paint on some Chinese panels though for track duty . Save standard so to speak when tallent runs out.

    Looks brilliant. Must have been a bastard riding 500 miles to all the different locations.:)

    Interested in your brake line setup. You're running a double union on the right caliper to feed the left? That's really unusual. Most run the double union from the master cylinder and then feed to the calipers, giving you dual lines attached by P clip to the yoke.

    Yeah, was a proper chore riding :).

    When I got the lines changed, I was asked if I wanted standard or race set-up. Seeing as I wasn't planning or racing, I went for standard. Hindsight an all, should of chose the latter o_O
