and how it stands at the moment.

Removed the tea tray at the back, removed non-standard fairing, LED rear indicators fitted.
Fitted a k and n crankcase breather filter, has stopped the oil sight glass from getting moyoed up after a ride out.
Along with my favorite thing about the biek RoadRacing cans and Headers. (cheers Yorkie) these sound awsome!!!!

That looks the dogs danglies...... I love the exhausts...

[giler]

Looking very nice, some nice mirrors would be good.

[Oily Fingers]

cheers people!!!! yeah thats the only thign i cant make my mind up on are the mirrors. i cant see a thing in them without moving my arms in, plus they look f-ugly.
Any ideas on mirrors anyone???

[LVC]

Looking good :thumbsup:

Have to agree with giler though - loose the "air brakes". Some nicer mirrors would add the finishing touches. DPM do some very nice ones :woot:

[kneedown]

hi looking very nice

[Albie]

even bar end mirrors will look cooler. I really think they would look better on a hornet. Rest of bike looks great.

[Oily Fingers]

i really like bar end mirrors but the only thing is i have the squeeze past my dads landrover when i get out the garage and on the drive, and it wont fit thought with bar-ends. there is only a inch either side of the back between the wall and the landrover.

i was thining of some lower and slimer mirrors..

future plans for the back are the get some parts powdercoated or painted, Rearsets, polish the swing arm, fit a seat cowl as well.

[jimbo696]

I have the DPM ones on my S2r and you cant see anything...I assumed the original ones were ok, obviously not...

[LouSCannon]

I really like that, looks great!

[big pete]

You could always take them off alltogether!! lol. You have a right nice bike there mate

[Blah blah]

My Oberons are not wider than the bar ends, and I can see loads more than with the standard ones...I'll get some pics when it's not dark if you want

(all hail the M750!! :hail:)

[Oily Fingers]

yeah a pic of them would be kool Blah!!

[He11cat]

that looks really nice well nice work!!

yeah mirrors are what bug me... I am used to bar ends but doing my IAM at the mo so must have Huge mirrors!!... used to tiny bar ends.. id like to find a pair of nice practical mirrors that don't cost the earth to be honest!!

and after all that you went and played on the slide and the swings didnt you!! :)

(I would have done :) lol)

[chris yeatman]

looking good, big up to all 750 owners!!!!!!

Oh you lost the air brakes in form of mirrors but you still have the one in form of tax disc, ditch it.

yeah there Road Racing exhausts, got them of Yorkie last year, they sound superb!!!

haha yeah, i took the mirrors off as i have got a set of clip on handle bars to fit, i trial fitted the clip ons and just never bothered fitting the old mirrors, just waiting on a spacer to turn up form USA then the clip ons are goin straight on!!!

and as for the tax disc, i keep meaning to move up but always end up forgeting.

[Paranoid Dave]

Just re-read this and thought you should know that when you say 'polish the swingarm' unless you change it for an alloy arm you're going to get a very rusty arm soon after completion.

Bike looks lovely though.

yeah i didnt actually mean a polished metal one i just ment like give it a clean up, bit grimey in places :)

cheers for the comments though.

just got my k and n panel filter for it today and just fitted it along with the airbox lid cut out abit as well, just got to neaten it up tomorow after work and all should be good. then saturday goin to get the carbs set up with the mixture as well :)

[steeevvvooo]

I refinished a swingarm on a Thundercat I had. Sanded the rust off, base layer and a few layers of silver, then a few layers of laquers (all standard halfords stuff)

Looked quite good, but no idea how it lasted as I sold it a few months later. :mand:

[sburrows87]

Yeah or a powdercoated finish is good too, so long as the bushes are taken out, etc etc...

Bikes lookin good anyway mate, bet you can't wait to get the clip-ons fitted!

[Oily Fingers]

yeah i keep thinking how great it will look with the clip ons fitted!!!! cant wait

got a couple of other thigns still on the list to do.

do somthing about the belt covers, re-paint them or get some see through guard type things so you can see the belt wizzing round.

and get a smaller rear hugger, this one looks quite big for some reason (anybody wana do a swap, mine for a smaller one??)

[Oily Fingers]

hey everyone. heres a quick sneeky shot i got of the bike tonight. will get some better ones when its all done and proper :D

i'm pretty chuffed how its turning out now, kinda of a newish cafe racer/streetfighter.
will be getting some bar end mirrors or some slim lower normal mirrors.
your thoughts

[CH!P]
