when i did my yzf with r1 front end 04
i used r6 rear 04 same style
thinner sizes on r6 04 4.5
r1 04 5.5 maybe 6
r6 are cheaper than r1

A 190/55 is meant for a 6" rim-typically a wheel from the R1. The 5.5" rim is best suited to a 180/55 tyre.

Look, there are loads of bits so I'm bound to forget where the odd one or two go aren't I?

Anyway, anybody have ant idea where this bit is from?

Oh, it's an RU by the way.

That is the part that holds the front of the airbox in place and front of the tank. it doesnt seem to be from an RU as it doesnt have the screen brace attached. (maybe its been cut off to fighter it).

Thanks for that, it looks like it's been hacked about a bit, there are saw marks on the tube bits.

Good job we take pictures so we know where everything goes.

Cheers Joeboy.

I've done the front wheel now, the back's going to be a tads more work.

It's an XJR one which actually fits the R1 forks. Just getting a wheel spacer made to replace the speedo drive and I'm done.

Look what I got for Christmas (off myself sadly).

Just need to polish them up and they should be ready to fit (if I ever get the damn frame bacK).

Getting there (slowly).

WOW!! Seriously good work there!!

Would say if you need a hand, give me a shout (am on the wirral meself), but doesn't look like you need it! So I'll rephrase.... if you run out of things to polish, my ace would really appreciate it!!
