Quite a bit of choice for proper whitewall tyres for 19" front ... but only thing I can find for 18" back are Cockers at (wait for it ) .... £250 to £300. No way ! I might be a poser , but thats a few ££ too far . List of all front and rear whitewalls I can find in the UK attached as a word doc.

NHK ODM500 steering damper (as originally fitted to the Kawa Z1) in place. Much more pleased with this one, it sits much better than the GSXR one. At full right hand lock it just misses hitting the engine. Next up, a wee bit of welding on the frame and then off to the powder coater.

Had to extend the steering stop by 10mm either side to stop the clubman bars banging off the tank.

Also, one of the rear peg mounts was corroded through and needed welding .

Finally .... tarozzi rear sets have arrived :) These will be mounted on the rear passenger footpegs instead of using the tarozzi mounting bracket

...... so nearly there as ever. Just need to get powder coated and the front muguard rechromed. Bring it on Santa.
These new phot options are great Steve ;D ;D
