Nice!

You also seem to have a bunch of cars?

And what is Korrek?

Cars are not mine. Korrek (that yellow one is car shampoo)

Evil pussymagnet,bl**dy hell you`ll have every cat in the neighbourhood stuck around your arse while riding it!
Pussy and bikes?I`ve only ever experienced women making a biking lifestyle more difficult myself,the term `Biker Widow`has been used in many a divorce case.
How do you find the Conti Sport Attacks?
I quite like the look of them and have heard good reports too.

The seat cover was made by a Finnish guy called Mika his website: http://www.mhd.fi/gallery_view.php?category=1 he will be responsible of the front mask leathering too. I made the mask myself out of fiberglass. I wasn´t entirely happy with the result (and the amount of work) and desided to take it to Mika who can do his magic on it.

Conti Sport Attack (rear) seems to work ok. Could say that it was a good buy. It will not last long though...once I get the bike on the road... We will see how much smoke it produces then I will replace it with 180 (current one is 160).

You may find a 180 section will `tuck` on the standard TRX rim.If you want wider rubber I recommend going over to a YZF 750 wheel,I`m certain it fits the stock swingarm.
When a tyres sidewall runs too far inboard of it`s tread width you get sidewall deflection that affects the form and profile of the tyre and it`s really not something you want on a bike.
So what`s the seat cover made from,do you know,will it be hardwearing?

Good point about the tyre.

The seat cover is made of 2 different fake leather, white phyton and black phyton. Mika from MHD ordered it from somewhere, do not know more. I can ask next week when I get my front mask from him. What would you like to know more?

[Mincehead]

I`ve recently secured myself another front seat and I`m going to install a gel pad under the cover as I`m intending on being in the saddle rather a lot on the TRX.
I`ve found the gel pads that will fit but thought it might be good to have the seat recovered in something a little more `exotic` and hardwearing than black leathercloth.
So when you see your pal,any information regarding materials and availability would be useful,although I`m guessing there will be a minimum amount of material that anyone can buy,like say a roll of a metre or so?

Mika does also gel seats...

I will ask him his recommendations.

Thank you evilHR,I`ll await your reply.

No problem!

Hello. Now I am finally close to finalization of my project bike. Here are some fresh pics. Note that I had to use the original speedometer (etc.) therefore the front mask is too far out, I would prefer it closer to the bars. I will replace the original speedometer with a digital one. I hope to find a R1 front, and replace the whole front with that during winter. But this is the way things are now...

I've seen your entry in ToTM, looks nice and another 'swing' on a personal idea.

looks really nice,I love that snakeskin theme.
But yes,loose the hideous stock instruments and go for a neater alternative,maybe a digital/LCD/LED unit,take a look at what these guys sell:

There`s lot`s more about,that`s just a sampler.
