Some updates on Lola.

[/ATTACH]182140182141182139I'm gonna give this another go and try and post some photo updates made to my Lola as some of you are giving me shit about not being able to use new techology. For me, if you can't do it simply(like Apple) then it's just too damn complicated for old farts! Here goes nothing.....:confused:
Edit: Well it didn't do what I expected but I'll keep working on it. Shit!!
What do you know! I got it to work!! The last two photos show the updates, namely, the CF side panels, Vortex gold sprocket, gold chain, ti sprocket nuts, axle adjusters(love em!) and crash knobs(a work in progress).

Eh? that's not a bad result mate, but looks like a show bike.:lol: Time to get it out and get dirty with some rides while the sun is out. Anyhow, that's what I plan to do in a few minutes.

[swannie007]

Not a show bike mate, just a clean one! I still ride it like I stole it. Just clean it after every ride, a lot easier to keep clean that way. I envy your being able to ride right now as I am stuck on a mine site in WA. My turn next week, probably riding down to Walcha for a day or two of riding down there.

That's it Swannie keep earning the big bucks in the WA mines. Judging by the regular mods you'll need the $. Mind you I have made quite a few myself. :lol:
Send me a message when you are close to home, I'll ride up the range to meet ya.

[swannie007]

Sounds like a plan. PM me your phone # and I'll call you next week when I get home from work and we can arrange a meet. Cheers.

[Retics]

That is some nice bling!!

Hey can you post a video on youtube of your bike with the can you have, bet it sounds like a beast .

[Micke65]

Swannie , really nice !! Here we sit in the fokking winter with snow and darkness and hoping for spring to come .." 2.5 months away"

Anyway, do some youtube films so we can get warm up here :)

[JDRSV]

swannie, looks great. will not be able to get my wheels on until I get back from tassie

[TZsparky]

Looking good, Swannie

[Nob]

Best looking V4T I've seen mate. Fair play to you and credit where credit is due :)
One tiny tiny tiny comment. What about a dash of red somewhere ?

[swannie007]

Thanks for all the compliments guys. I would love to do a post on YouTube of my bike,but, I don't have a camera. As soon as I am able to get my hands on one, I will make a video and post it.
Yea, Retics, it does sound nasty and I love it. Turns heads every time I start it and at about 10,000 RPM it is pure "sound of thunder!".
Nob, the idea of a touch of red is a good one, I'll give it some thought.
Next week I will be fitting the EvoTech radiator gaurds and another CF hugger.
Still to come will be a CF front mudgaurd, new seat cover(the grey is a bitch to keep clean), RSV4 tail, Euro dark screen, Mana risers and a few billet pieces here and there and possibly some other front discs. It's a work in progress.
Cheers guys.

Think I have only seen one video of the Werks can on youtube and he didn't rev it high on an RSV4

Renthal Fatbar 814 are almost the same height and sweep as V2T bars, available in any colour. Mana risers are good but they could cause problems getting the tank up.

Here's one..

[swannie007]

Thanks for that Raakile but unfortunately the actual sound is VERY different. I will look for the other YouTube video that has a guy on a black RSV4 doing fly-byes and it sounds much more like the real thing. It was this video that finally convinced me to buy the Werkes pipe.

Thanks for the heads up on this Nob. I will look into it a bit further(unfortunately I have purchased the risers already!) and check if it's a problem. Someone on this forum has done the mod and didn't mention any problems with this other than having to have a longer brake line made up. I chose to do it this way as opposed to changing the bars as you have to drill new alignment holes for the switchgear when you change the bars. The risers are the most expedient way of doing it. Cheers.

[Nob]

Eye, I put the Mana risers on my bike a while ago. http://www.apriliaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?233589-bar-risers Different bike but worth a looky.

FWIW I don't think you need any of the brass doo dars popping in the holes, I've just pulled them out in the past and nothing changed.

[swannie007]

Thanks for that Nob. Must say it looks good. I need to get a little weight off my wrists(touch of arthiritis) and I think this will do the trick without screwing up the handling and weight distriution too much.
By the way, what brass do dads or you talking about?

[Nob]

The little brass pins that locate the switch gear on the bars bud.

[swannie007]

Thanks Nob.

I've got a set of these chain adjusters in red for my rsv4, putting them on next tire change!
