Hey guys, done loads of little things to the bike recently.

Firstly i finally got my hands on a decent back tyre...
A supercorsa that has only done a single lap of a track before the session got cancelled.
only cost me £40 fitted
The difference between these tyres is astounding, i had forgot how much i LOVE supercorsas, never ever having dunlop crap on one of my bikes again.
The turn in was stupidly slow and when you tried to lean the bike into a bend it just felt like they were going to let go at any moment. Just look at the shape difference, that dunlop felt like it was squared off from new, horrible tyres.

I have also done a load of work on the lighting.

This picture does not do em justice, its like have five little suns on the front of my bike, makes it way easier to spot from a distance.
and a night time shot

then i got to work on sorting the rear as its blown 3 bulbs in a month through vibration as the rear light mounts solid to the subframe.
I cut the filament bulb mounts out of the rear light to make room for my plan.
Bought some LEDs some resistors and used another pair of the Eagle eye drls i have on front and came up with this. It aint pretty but it wont be visible anyway.

Anyway got it all put back together and wired it up.
First the side lights then brake lights.

Just bought a compressor (finally !!! ) so i can run airtools i shall soon be able to increase my fabrication skills Smile.

Also been looking in to fitting an R1 rear shock. Apparently the 2008 one fits and just needs spacers making to get it perfect.
