Hi Paul, good choice of wheels they look very similar to my rotas. Regarding the tyres, if your just driving on the road the toyos will be fine, but like any normal road biased tyre the rear will spin easily in 1st and second gear if your heavy on the gas. The toyo 888 or the yokohama track day tyres are far better once warmed up. the rear toyo 888 gg one the rear of mine is nearly worn out after 1200 miles of serious fun  I use a spare wheel with a harder compound tyre for cruising about. Cheers, Kevin |

Thanks Kevin, maybe I will just get the toyos for road use, and a spare set of wheels with track tyres for when its time to play !

Woah!! There must be a system in this dissasembling plant LOL!! Good choice on the wheels indeed! they look easy to clean+light and they will show the brakes+calipers. I am looking forward to your choice of accesoiries too! Making a choice was the hardest part for me  greets! Erik |

hehe, could have been worse : key, nut,washer etc just make sure to make a list of parts advertised by others so you can estimate the value of your parts. Somehow i still haven't sold big chunks of motorcycle which I'd expect to be sold in short time notice such as panels, front wheel, tank. I'd better go back in advertising now bad weather is coming soon. I believe sunny days are bad for business on this. good luck boxing! |

That's pretty soon! Finding the accesoiries you like may be the hardest part of the build It took me up to last wednesday to chose the body color and still I have slight doubts if I made the correct decision tough I know it will look great. good luck! Erik |

Been to RTR today and picked what options I am having.
Going for orange nose cone , black bevel cycle wings, standard seats in body colour, photon headlights reverse kit, klicktronic with flappy paddle gear shift and interupt module, new 2 into 1 exhaust to fit twin cans.
All i have to do now is pay for it all !
p.s anyone want to buy a kidney !
Also went out for a test ride in the demonstrator.......... Cant wait to get started on my own now, wanted to bring it home with me today. Only another couple of weeks to go.
