You build a very nice bike. I see you have Gregs Front Mount RAds. Good show. Now put some frame sliders on that thing and go set a couple fast sessions down at Willow

Why did you put on those Brembos? I have ridden both set ups and with the exception of the Monoblocks the Stock Nissins with the HRC pads and 19 x 18 Radial Pump kick the Brembo cast units ass. Of course they don't have any bling value

That looks really nice. I like the paint on the fender and hugger too. Ties in nicely. Good work

Thanks Robert. I got the fork without the stock caliper brackets, the prior owner had take them because he had the radials as well. I had to replace them and Greg was kind enough to help me with the set.

I gotta ask ya, do the frame sliders really work for the RC? I see them and they seem to stick barely a few inches out. Maybe it is just wrong perception.

It was a project I decided to take on while healing from a get-off, and I love the performance enhancements to the bike. It does handle very nicely. I am trying not to sink more money into it... otherwise, CF Wheels, and such might happen.

And the bike does do Willow Springs
