ok so while doing all of this did decided i did not like the front brake it was very dated and was crap baisically so did a little research and found some brackets that could fit was a 50/50 chance they would fit mind so i needed some brackets made up so had them made up and them bought some gsxr 4 potters Razz

so back from the painters it looks miss matched only in the pics in life it looks ok lol because apparently the chinise dont have paint codes so was just a colour match by eye

and then bought some carbon mirrows and yoke protector and i wonted a tinted screen but there wasnt any any where so i took a chance with a cbr600f and suprise it was to big so go the dremel out and began hacking away it was to big in every sense but i was determend to fit it and i did and made a very good job of it if i do say so my self

Nice post

I like what you've done with it.

Wouldn't a CBR4 screen have been easier to make fit though?

Powdercoated bits look good, wheels will make the difference too.

What was the name of the chinky seller you got the fairings off?

Love your write up I used to have a CBR250 but it was the MC22 version and I know what you mean by how rare the parts are to find.

How much did your fairings set you back?

Awesome transformation, but, i would get that tank sorted, the Chinese have paitn codes, of course they do!

Its a poor colour match, even for one by eye. So i'd ask him to re-do it.

Good job on everything though.
