tbh I did google it and retract my previous comments :)

Looks mean and angry again like the 04-06 bike.

You should do a build post of all the yummy HRC bits going on :)

Are there any new features this year?


I will try and update as I do it. I will be putting bits and pieces on the race facebook page as well (linky above). Problem being I source alot of my bits from Italy and they have just shut down for hte summer till the 25th, hopefully my Exhaust (Arrow) and my suspension (Bitubo) are on their way before this happened.

Acula, good luck with the test.

Nice!

Was that your first go at re-ing it?

Yea man, she pretty much shot through straight away, first time. Had to take the rear drum break off and measure to get that 'certified' which was a pain. I mean come on, the entire bike is bone stock and only ridden for about a month in 2002 before it was stolen, recovered and sat for a good 6-7 years, only 1400km and they needed to certify the stock, genuine Suzuki drum brake -___- Oh well, it's sorted now, BSH next week with a bit more practice at a car park this week and I'll be on the road :D

Edit: Cheers, Franky and Pyro, for the luck. Hopefully I won't need it, I've practiced a decent amount now with a decent instructor/mechanic(my girlfriends dad) who even he said that he's impressed with capabilities on my bike.

Had to pull the rear brake off and measure the entire thing, it had practically zero wear and was as clean as new. So that was an annoyance, having to pick it up from the shop, go get them measured then bring the bike back. Especially because on the way back to the shop, going round a corner a strap slipped and the bike fell over, causing a dent in the tank. That kinda sucked but it's not too bad, so should be easily fixable.

Would like to say a massive massive thanks to all the users that gave advise in this thread, unfortunately the Rep system won't allow me to rep all of you half as much as you deserve - but suffice it to say - you deserve it.

Thanks
