Hi

Just finished fitting an R1 set of forks to my Exup.
Not a bad job but you do need a press and access to a lathe or someone who has both and will do the jobs for you, and some work to the headstock.

So far i have fitted a YZF750 rear and R1 front end now working on an R1 seat unit.Waiting for R1 wheels to arrive.

Nice work dustydes. Looking forward to seeing the finished product :nod:
Bit of advice. Buy a good bed and a good pair of shoes, because if you aren't in one you'll be in the other.

Ok

So far
Front end R1
Rear end YZF750
Wheels R1
Brakes R1 Blue spots front, back YZF. may change to Blue's?

Seat unit and seat R1 2010 still working on frame and modding the seat to fit FZR tank, pain in the a** so far, but some fiberglassing will sort it out .
Looks very high at back but ends same hight as tank and seat feels fine.
Won't be fitting under tray to seat unit but will plate with ally to keep rear end as slim as possible.
No indicators.
Wireing loom needs modding to move relays and fuses.
Exup valve needs moving, water tank will be changed
Flat bars ordered
Lots more bits to work on or buy but getting there

Something clever goes here but I can't be bothered!
