I bought the bike, now christened "custard" off a mate a few months ago. The poor thing had been sat for 4 years unloved and rotting in a garage.



After a few weeks of sourcing parts she was up and running but not looking quite how I wanted!

So now she wears.....

It is an aggressive looking bike I'll give you that.

I am coming round to the way of twins but yearn for something a little bigger, a TLR would fit the bill Thinking.

Arguably the best mods to your bike are the stickers! Reminds me of my ZXR250 where I had the Mark Tom & Travis caracatures on my tank lol! I'm tempted to find All Time Low stickers for my bike but that would make me look ghey!

Bike looks really tidy. Let me know how you get on with the dunlop Quali2's. i liked the Qualis and obviously the Roadsmarts but might be tempted to get stickier stuff when I start doing track days next spring.

Tempted to fit HID lights on your bike yet?

Very much so, but fundage is low at the mo so cant afford 2 kits! The quali's are fooking awesome! Managed 3500 miles on them so far.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo you bastard!

Not only have I yearned for a TLR for a long time, but you go and make a sexy beast of an example of one for what I would say is very little cash.

I hate you...........but if you give me a go I may change my mind Twisted Evil

Are the galfers much of an improvement over stock? I'm tempted to get waveys, either braking or galfer IF they do offer improvement. My bikes are notorious for having strong brakes however.

The galfers on their own werent a huge improvement, though they didnt fade off from heavy braking like the standard ones. The radial master cylinder combined with the discs and brembo pads made a huuuuuuuuuuuge difference.

What brembo pad compounds you running by the way? I've got some of the red sintered road ones (SA) at the moment and it gives a rock hard feeling at the lever. They stop on a sixpence though from speed. I was trying to think if the "shaved weight" would quicken the steering or is it negligable?

The blink sticker is sex! There's no need to question the antics of Hoppus, Delonge and Barker!

Same compound as you at the moment but when they are worn out Im going to try a different one. To be honest I havnt noticed any difference in turn in!
