I have now bought an R1 doner bike. Low mileage 2007 model. I`m still trying to decide if it really is to good to break!  |

Very nice, at leased you will have a lot of good parts to sell to recoup some money to put towards the parts you will for your build.

I agree. Just do it.

Don't think too much...
Keep in mind to inform if the 2007 model fits in the frame. Swingarm looks the same as mine, but maybe the dimensions are different?
If the frame is the same as mine, (I have a 2004 model) then you need to modify some things. But maybe RTR has already done some modifications.

That's an awesome garage.
How much was that?

32` X 10` site cabin £2000, delivery £200, used roller shutter door £170 frpm ebay and a coat of paint around another £200.
I worked out it was cheaper this way than buying a precast concrete garage, and hopefully a bit more secure too.

Nice garage!
Having some bad luck with finding good wheels makes me ordering wheels as prio #1 before ordering a kit in future. have a look at the wheel selector thread for an exellent link. Lotsa homework to do on the accesoiries and MVSA regulations.
Have fun!

Hi all
my R1 is now a big pile of parts ready for the build. I am just ordering wheels and tyres. does anyone know if a yokohama 205/45 17 will fit in the swinging arm? It looks like most people are using 205/40 17 but camskill do not list the Ad08 in that size. according to my calculations the side wall would only be 10mm higher, just not sure how much clearance there is with a car tyre fitted.
thanks
Paul

will measure tonight and advise further. Or drop RTR a call and speak to Luke, he will know.
Cheers

I run mine at the front of the adjustment slots with a 40 profile tyre and there is plenty of room for a 45 profile at both sides.
Cheers,
Kevin

That's a good thing ordering the wheels! I am looking forward to your choice! Just went out to order these wheels: Yokohama Parada 205/40 R17 84W XL RPB asymmetric Marangoni Zeta Linea 205/40 ZR17 84W XL I hope they do have mine in stock at the national depot  I am not sure if a higher tire will fit. The mudguard brackets do limit the tire diameter and for 17" wheels the mudguards look like an extremely tight fit already, but way cool! good luck! Erik |

Just been looking again at tyres. I was thinking yoko prada spec II for front (205/40/17) and ad08for rear (205/45 17) this costs £310 from camskill.
I have now found a set of TOYO 205/40R17.84W PXT1-R from tyretraders.com at a cost of £147 for the 3 including vat and delivery. Anyone used these or know if they are any good? I didn`t think toyo was a budget brand but they are only half the price of the yokohama option.
