the bike was fitted with a givi screen which did a good job of deflecting the wind
but it was ugly and rattled
so i sold that to a kiwibike member -$50
bought a two brothers exhaust of trademe $100
got it fitter with a custom link pipe (GPCUSTOM)

i replaced the stock bars with ultra low renthals
purchased from a member of kiwibiker $100
had a custom stainless radiator cover made by GPCUSTOM (southernrider)$50
replaced stock mirrors with koso mirrors $60 trademe
then the head decided to bend a valve :(
i decided it would be far easier and less trouble some to buy a secone hand head
so i trolled the internet and found a cylinder head in WALES
that had done 30,000 kms
and the seller was kind enough to track down all the required gaskets/ head bolts / parts for
$700 delivered to my door
then the oilcooler decided the start leaking :( $5 in orings wilson bros
then the bike was up and relaible again !!!!!
untilll,,,,
the radiator started to leak
i temporary repaired this with high temp epoxy $5
after GPCUSTOM tried his bestest to repair the damage by tig welding the aluminium
this lasted approximatly 6 months!!
wahoo
i found a brand new radiator for $200 shipped
then the water pump decided to spring a leak :(
so i rode the bike for 3 months with the base of a coke bottle cable tied underneath the water pump to catch the fluid :P
i found a 2nd hand water pump on kiwibiker from a cbr f2 engine$30
and he sent me another spare!!! wahoo
also ive repaced the wheel bearings x2 ($12 each set ) wilson bros
fork oil $20
repainted forks black / triples $20 can
custom made grab rail blanks
also custom made top box holder
and pannier rack
and replaced the steering head bearings $39 (pryramid parts)

i replaced that $40 (moto xtreme)
