madcarper 0 Posted November 11, 2012 managed to get calipers and risers painted,fitted the controls although i have to extend the wiring and probably get longer throttle and choke cables i'll know better when i get the motor back in. rizoma grips on and my lsl headlight brackets look much better.braided rear brake line on thats the back end sorted.waiting for seal kit for the front calipers then i'll fit and measure for new brake lines. bought a zzr1400 radial clutch master cylinder but can't find matching brake cylinder for sensible money,so got a pair of a r1 will clean up and fit with billet pots and new levers ,anyone bought the pazzo or similar copies from japan and if so are they ok.need to get barend mirrors,i think the clocks will be the acewell 4554AB.nice and neat to sit behind the headlight. thats it for now folks will keep the updates coming as and when.
