[QUOTE="Twigg, post: 1149102, member: 27619"] There are a few misconceptions about "farkling". Mine is broken down into three areas ... Lighting, Seating, Auxiliary Gas. Everything else is just to add a few creature comforts, or upgrade the bike in some way. For example ... That bike does not have the standard braking system. The brakes were de-linked, and I changed the entire front brakes for those from an R6, then added custom brake lines. The engine and frame are untouched, except I swapped out the rear suspension linkage for the later and better set-up from a 1988. Plastic lets it down. The rear is just fine but the front plastic is dirty and cracked. It can all be replaced. I checked the valves at 56k. They had never been touched. All were in-spec or very close. I adjusted four of them simply to open them to max spec as they wear tight. I changed the gaskets for the later versions. Other than that, the bike is more or less standard (If you ignore the HID Projector I fitted in place of the OEM halogen headlight). Oh yeah ... the mirrors are from a Honda Fireblade. The X-creen works! [/QUOTE]
