    Subike, yours is Sweet mate. The ol barges seem to look smaller in black eh.
    Pipes are Staintune mufflers, Headers are 4-2, got them Ceramic coated-better than chrome & cheaper too.Lites are same as Speed Triple( I think) . Motors on 1st O/size, been rebuilt, new carbs, RGV front M/Cylider, CBR 600 calipers ( hoping to adapt R1 discs & M/Cyl soon). Now if it could just lose 60kg.... I know the Greta Vly Tavern, I used to live in ChCh.Awsome road past Cheviot and Kiakoura coast.... cheers GO CRUSADERS!!!!
