    Righty ho, got a bit of a plan to get this R1 up to spec. As i only paid
    £2k for it, i reckon I can chuck a bit of cash at it & sell it as
    original if i need to.

    So, I'm gonna do..

    Brakes, new Brembo master cylinder & Bendix pads.

    Front forks re-valved & re-oiled, or get a set of R&T Ohlins, but ****
    knows where from.

    Rebuilt or Ohlins rear shock.

    GPR steering damper.

    Some dyno time.

    Some decent tyres, i hate these Diablos.

    Owt else i missed?

    Eh? You ever tried to fit a tail tidy to an older R1?

    I want it to look standard, but you knew that, **** :)

    Yeah, not stupid money either.
    They are rather expensive, but so what.
