New ally rad fitted, my number 1 pet hate of the bike now sorted
the one before looked like a bit of a lash up close and to be fair it was just to get it going. Was a mito rad turned upside down. This is much better.
Got dash, need to make a mount.
Ordered TZ fairings and got these genuine TZ nose cone brackets hopefully I can do something with them.
Also ordered some metzeler m7rr's, gonna pull the wheels off for powder coating soon

Few bits done today, made a mount this morning and installed the dash

Everything working nice, wired the tacho into the Ignitech CDI as its the most accurate. Got the oil level light wired into the rg500 oil tank level switch.
Fitted a fan to the rad and wired that up,
Got a new set of M7RRs to go on when the wheels are back from powder coating along with titanium disc and pinch bolts and all new wheel bearings. Slowly getting there.

Took a gamble on gold for the wheels and happy with how they've turned out. A lot of shades of gold are either too dark or too light for me but saw this and thought it was worth a go. The gold discs look a bit in your face with the gold wheels but I'm sure once they're on the bike with tyres on it'll break it all up a bit and should look good. Plus gold wheels have always looked good against the Yamaha blue I'm planning on having it painted in that I've seen on various R1s.
New bearings, seals, right angle valves and titanium bolts

They look smart mate, like you say look a little much on their own but will fit right in on the bike

Nice as always
Sorry if you've already said this, but what paint scheme are you going for?

I want to paint it Yamaha metallic blue like my old R1 then I'll play around with some different ideas, probably be rude not to throw some speedblocks on it :p not planning on a full blown replica scheme.
