Well some updated pics. Installed a clear Puig double bubble screen and a red front fender from a YZF600 (Thundercat). IMHO it looks much better than with the black fender. Enjoy :)

Wind in the preload. Three lines showing. It'll turn better. Try 35psi front and 37 psi rear. If you tell me your weight and riding style I'll give you a suspension set up thats useful. You can get the Ace right over then, but your back tyres will suffer due to it being a heavyish bike.

silver spots too. Just out of curiosity...are the pistons alloy on those, the walls being approx 3mm thick?
For what its' worth ... The FZ1 silver spots I have on my YZF use the same steel pistons as the blue spots, not the gold spots alu ones.

I really like the looks of the Ace and this one is looking good IMO. I really dont know why it gets such a bad rep. So it aint the Blade of its day, who cares.

It looks the business matey.

Well came across a brand new Yoshimura RS-3C slip-on for practically nothing and I just couldn't resist. The fit and build quality is much better than the Remus'. Only thing I wish is that it was a little shorter. Left the dbkiller out for now and it sounds amazing :D

I must say it certainly tidies it up. :thumbsup:
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.
