Looks great mate, nice eye for finishing touches, I particularly like the headlight and water bottle. What sort of mileage does she have, she looks brand spankers!

19000 mls on the clock.
She warsnt looking great when I bought her 4 weeks ago.
Mechanically sound but overall condition was bad - plastics, paint, screws missing...

When I bought her she was looking rough..

I went to buy her because of the engine and few extras on her: TwoBros cans, Harris rearsets. Then I got my vision of the bike...with a little help from my GF. BTW My GF GSXR is in the background on few pictures.

I need this bike riding but Im still going to strip her fully over the winter and carry work on her. I have access to complete TL1000r engine...
There are some plans...

I did 20 miles test drive yesterday and I have to rectified some issues...flasher relay, rollgas cables, taillight has to be replaced - LED on the way.

Plan for next weekend: bellypan and radiator covers.

Im looking for plastic trim, undr the seat, both sides... Any ideas... There are in very bad shape...

Ah cool, nice to see she'll be looked after and appreciated from now on.

Not sure which side parts you mean - I know TrendItaly do these http://www.trenditaly.com/side-fairings ... -7045.html and these http://www.trenditaly.com/undertail-sid ... -7041.html in CF, possibly in GRP too.

Looks like some work has gone into this. Mega, and I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of your plans come to life.

I bought the same headlight but I haven't fitted it yet. Would you mind sharing some pictures of your fitting?

Hey, Greg!

Not too sure of your location, but there are a lot of sites when looking some of those parts up. I purchased these same parts myself, so here's the results of my own homework:

eBay listing for Beowolf Radiator Covers for 85.5 GBP: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cagiva-Raptor-1 ... 4860c352c9

eBay listing for PowerBronze carbon fiber Suzuki TL1000 belly pan for $165 USD: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SUZUKI-TL1000S- ... b7&vxp=mtr

eBay listing for white gel coated fiberglass Suzuki TL1000S for $147: http://www.ebay.com/itm/DR405-SUZUKI-TL ... 1b&vxp=mtr

Cagiva 1000 Red V Twin Belly Pan for £99.95: http://www.skidmarx.co.uk/cagiva/50043- ... y-pan.html

TredItaly Carbon Fiber belly pan for 153.26 EUR: http://www.trenditaly.it/puntale-carbon ... -7053.html

I'm sure there are other styles and what not to choose from, but hope this helps!
