how did you find the rc8?been a while since i had the old girl on the track as the electrics were giving me too much hassle so raced a KTM RC8R last year, bloody good bike but too much money sitting around. So the TLR has been resurrected with a few mods, new loom and all electrical items, relays etc. front end from an Aprilia RSVR with GSXR K7 1000 yokes so no pricking about with spacers etc, only had to hone out tehtop yoke by 1mm to fit. Rear wheel fitted with a 21mm spacer on the sprocket side. I used the RSVR axle but had new adjuster plates made to accommodate the 15mm shorter axle and reduced OD. Complete SRAD 600 subframe and seat unit, GSXR 600 K6 steering damper and bracket. The single sided exhaust is only for the look but too be honest i'm looking for a full twin system, Yoshi, Akra or M4 if anyone knows of one. She is all ready to play in spain this month so cant wait to see if she is any good. Gearing is changed also , a DL1000 525 front sprocket to match the Aprilia rear but changed to 43/16 so she should be lively. Chinese plastics are not too bad but the idiots have put a GSXR decal on the sides, twits.
Mods complete
