I rode one of the early CBR1000's a mate had new, didn't feel very fast to start with then I realised the power delivery just felt linear all the way through, the speedo told the truth though!

Cheers fella.
Yeah the CBR is deceptive in that it starts to pull then just keep on pulling hard until you need another gear. There's no chance of losing the back end due to being overcome by the rush of power as it doesn't start pulling hard till around 5k. It's very user friendly, but heavy, although not so when on the move.

Still in the same state it was the last time I touched it.
It'll get pucked up at some point. I need to get my R1 finished first and get some miles in then I'll have a look.
You have a thread @monky harris ?

Fitted the rear most chassis outrigger
Then cut a section from a spare top hat and fitted that which allowed me to fit the last jacking point.
Then stood looking at the end if the section I repaired yesterday thinking how could I get around removing the front beam as it isn't possible when it's on the roll over frame. Decided to chop out a section of the beam (it'll need replacing anyway as it's shot) and repair what lay underneath.
Not pretty but it worked.
Looking better already!

I had to get one for mine, RHD ones that are rust free are stupid money. I was luck to find a LHD from a guy doing a narrow beam conversion. It's a completely bare unit and I'll have to move the servo bracket.
I haven't done it yet so technically it is laying around but you can't have it

A great improvement...Today's instalment.
These parts are quite flimsy which meant lining up as I went.
Working towards the rear corner next, a couple of repairs then it can go back on its wheels.
