The Internet is a scary place with many jealous bastards, you build a few bikes, win a few shows and next there is a hate pose on your heels! weird.
I'm going to hide in here from now on I think

The basic idea is this but it'll get changed a bit for the final seat unit, lights are going and a racefit Zorst system I think.

Re: 3rd rebuild :)
you going to remove the front lights also and have a day time MOT? tempted with that myself.. or perhaps use a small light tucked away up front somewhere..
Plans look great very smooth

Yes front lights going too, looking at a race day R6 fairing but will worry about that when the back end is done.

Did you have a look at that Aprillia one in the loft GB. It has three headlights would make your HID look like they ran on parafin

Re: 3rd rebuild :)
What's required to fit the oz aprillia front wheel, have you used aprillia disks or do the cbr ones fit? Did you have to change internal collars and bearings also? Also do you know the weight of the front wheel before disks/ tyres? Sorry lots of questions
