a little progress...so a coupla pics cos I'm sat here bored.

after playing around with rads & oil coolers...I grabbed myself a GSXR1000 K6 rad and cooler mount. the rad is bigger than the blade one I was using before, so cooling issues should be less of a problem. just e-blagged an oil cooler for the bottom of the rad so mounting should be a breeze with the gsxr cooler mount i also eblagged.

the rad was a bit shite...so a bit of a rub down and 5 minutes being blasted with a rattlecan..and t looks ok. and i like the shape of it compared to the blade one, or the R1 rad I also have

took a bit of thought mounting the rad, but got it sorted after a brainwave whilst half asleep on sat morning!

last week i was messing with seat foam...but lost the will to live with it so left it till later. the pics show the first efforts with a stanley knife....not good!!!

once the oil cooler is here I reckon I'll be able to get it running!

just have to pipe up the resevoir that I'm stuffing behind the engine and work out which pipe goes where, including a pipe from deep in the front of the carbs/airbox...forgot where it was plumbed into...I'll work it out...somehow

anyhoo...

here's some pics
