Rearsets are on the way

I ordered a set of Tyga rearsets and another carbon hugger for my GSXR. The new tyres on the Gixxer are great and provide a lot more confidence. Once the rearsets are on the RGV I can fit-up the exhausts and start welding.

New tyres on the Gixxer

The old sports-tourer hoops on the Gixxer were not giving me the feel or confidence I wanted from my tyres and I'd reached a point where I wasn't confident to tip it in too much. Mick's tyres had a special on a set of Dunlop GPR-a11s and.....it just happened.

I'll see how they go on the bike ride I'm organising for this weekend, but they're already an improvement and I haven't even finished scrubbing them in.

Pipes are on and fouling

I got round to trial-fitting the pipes so I could have the cans welded on. fitted them up okay but one is fouling on the rearsets.


So I can't line up the cans.

I've got two options - take a hammer to the expansion chamber to give it some "remodelling" or get a new set of rearsets. Had a think and I'll be getting the new set of rearsets.

New mirrors are here

I ordered in a set of CBR2250/VFR400 mirrors and they have finally arrived . I'll put them on soon and post up a pic. Need to get onto RGVSpares.com and get my parts organised to finish this thing.
