    Chroming wasn't too bad but so few places do it now. Did it piecemeal so the 1000 bucks was spread out, probably was half that.
    My handlebars are like narrow MX bars no where near as bad as i thought.
    All the old pommy bike stuff my dad had used to et done at the same place they did Russels Hobbs kettles in CHCH

    Dirt bike ride was close and short loop so got home early. Started off foggy and cleared up mint.

    Check this photo out. I always carry a tripod and SLR. I can post shutter speed for those interested.

    Nah just my cell phone but look at it. I told Pete to hide his face.

    Turned it (shift kill) off and went for ride. Problem solved.

    Feels weak on part throttle . Needle position isn't right. Great when you open throttle. Went onto motorway and gave it a fat. Words like: Oh My. And Golly! were used.

    . Riding position is like being home again.

    Temperature is a concern though. 67 on motorway. That's fine I'm not looking for peak power. But got up to 89 following a slow coach up my hill.

    It's not hurting it but not much leeway. I'll need to take it out Wairarapa where I intend to use it at a mixture of looping along, tight and flat out bits.

    What is the radiator RG250 Stock what? space looks kind of tight from the last pic but looks like room for a NC30 lower rad

    Has it got the uprated Pump pretty sure Flet actually made the ones for the TSS

    It's 6 o'clock and the sun is still savage . Dipping feet in paddling pool. Drinking local drop of brown fizzy water

    Life is surprisingly good.

    looks like you can go up a little down a little plus a bit thicker and maybe widder with a curved one.
    Then there the radiator to consider

    i only just noticed the braced frame rails

    here is a TL1000R dimensions but still looks no deeper or taller

    Have a cardboard thicker template similar to Sketchy NSR300 Chinese rad.

    ZX4, but modded so it goes right to left in top 1/2 then left to right in bottom half.

    Shame the lower NC30 wouldn't fit

    Price of a few Beers

    This would not help the rad being to small but it might delay the result

    And ironically where I sourced the ZX radiator as we had a couple of beers. Maybe I should pop around and see what else might be on offer. Curved ones didn't seem to offer up well. Thicker Chinese one might be the go.

    Still smarting over ripped inlet manifolds halting further progress. Had considered taking it to a local bike show as a work in progress. Look very unlikely for 2 weeks time.

    I had seen some straight ones they made to suit the ATC250R TRX but unfortunately they were what you had already used UPP
