That looks great. The white really sets it off well.

Good luck with it, will be good to read the report.

Looking schmick!
I always believe if you can't be fast at least look fast...

The slower you go the more ppl see your bike....

Rob from RT Screen printing has knocked up a bunch of stickers for it, so it should be all dressed up and ready for its track debut next Tuesday..
Dave, Is it a track day on Tuesday?, I would not mind having a look, is it open to the public?

Yeah it's just a normal ride day Mark.

Thanks Glen, Can I just rock up and have a look or do I have to pay an entrace fee?I know it is a dumb question

Mark, you can just go in the back entrance near the WSID (sign in), and just ride down and park behind pit wall, it's free mate.
just dont get on the track

Thanks guys, it certainly is a big improvement over what it first looked, and went like..
Theres heaps of parts for these on e-bay (mainly uk or us) so its been a fairly cheap fix up.
The biggest outlays have been for the paint $150 and the chain $125.

The track day on Tuesday will be more of a shakedown than anything else. I'll be cruising around for a while to see if anything goes wrong, then working on the setup. I'll just run the 208GP's for now, then my good mate Cambo is going to sort me out with a nice set of Bridgestone slicks.

Got my stickers from Rob sitting here so they'll be on tomorrow.
It'll look like KSRC Racing Team....

With the CBR1000RR race breeding it may be hard to stop it

Lookin' good Dave, hope you get some good photos out on the track next week....

I was up at the last round of PCRA Champs at Wakefield Park last Sunday, there were 7 New Era 2 entries:

3 x YZF750's, 3 x ZXR750's, and a lone GSXR750. Not a 'huge' number of entries, but it is slowly growing.
