its an abba stand mate, they fit all bikes, just need different inserts. work a treat. i got the yokes off and guess what? despite some interweb "experts " saying R1 and busa yokes - they are interchangable, ......they aint. busa shaft is 20mm longer, different offsets and different fork...

yes well, .....finally got the swingarm in, looks sweet as with the white R1 wheels. unfortunately the caliper hits the wheel with a TL1000s carrier so im getting a one off disc made in busa size so i can use the busa carrier, which doesnt hit the wheel. roaring toyz swinger sold within about 10...

well, ive been desperate to get on with this, but its slow progress, my dreams of riding it this year slowly ebbing away.....boo hoo. its been with the welder a while, and after fitting the subframe he made up a battery box/cdi holder, but it was too low. im sure i told him i was putting busa...

never got my import duty back, and had to pay export duty, so thanks Brexshit for that. progress is slow, the welder man is busy and not having much time to finish this off. im waiting for a battery box, the mounting of the cdi, brake res tab, and exhaust hanger, as well as pillion pegs to get...

seat unit sent back, and new one bought, dont suppose ill get my import duty back :(.

well after waiting about a month for a seat unit from Germany ,it turns out its been at customs, with held till they rape me for import VAT, clearance "fee"and customs duty, total of 65quid. b*stards. and to top it off- it doesnt fit......turns out its off a streetfighter, which must have a...

well thats the swingarm back from the powder coaters, looking nice and a few other parts. im waiting for a swingarm adapter for my abba stand and will remove the busa front end, and sell it, to re coup some funds. the subframe for the 1098 seat arrived and wow, its really narrow and will need...

thanks, but i ended up just going for a complete 2010 R1 front end after all. im just waiting for a busa adaptor for my abba stand to get the old front end out, and try this one for size.

thanks, more developments. swingarm, caliper mounts and a couple of small parts off for powdercoating. new bearings ordered for thier return

actaully scrub this, it os off a busa, side rails been chopped and front plate added, rear crossmember chopped off. oh well nevermind, ill sell it with the seat unit, which it fits now.

started breaking down the seat unit this morning, oh my what a bodge job, butchered mudguard, bent bolts, timber and zip ties holding the undertray on, its all faintly amusing...but not in a good way will be glad to see the back of this lot. im hoping i will have enough room for the battery...

hello, ive got this subframe on my bike with a gsxr 1000k2 seat unit. im changing it out and was wondering if this is a hayabusa subframe. its been modified, an extra bracket bolted to the lower mounts, presumably to kick the rear end up. i also welded in some cross braces for the pillion seat...

never really liked the seat unit,so ive added to my credit mountain by buying up the constituent parts of one of these. sub frame will obviously need some alteration, but i think it will suit ole fatty bus shexy ,miss moneypenny, oh yes, itwill be, coming from Germany, hope i dont get screwed...

bottom yoke and mudguard arrived, dug out some other goodies. i was wanting to use my big yokes, pictured, but they were made for gsxr so different spacing and offset. R1 ones will be fine. they need powder coated and new stem. Swingarm ive had for 10+ years, never fitted it. again, powder coat...

R1 yokes on the way, stem swap will see it right, without the need to space out discs etc. more expense. next stop - seat unit. im on the look out for a ducati 848, 1098 one , or maybe gsxr or s1000rr one with lights, seat pads, subframe etc if anyone knows anyone?
