How to convert a 98-03 Mille to a Tuono

[turbopresh]

i had noticed that myself.. could be a bit of a nightmare.. will see how it goes, if i can get my hands on a grp racing bellypan i'll definately get one to take a mould of.. pretty busy atm with other things.. been trying to glass up a mould of a zx7r tank for the past 4 days now and still haven't got around to it =\

They look ok from the side but when you get close theirs a gaping whole down each side. Easily good enough untill you find a proper un though

Looking at these pictures and the one of Turbopresh's bike it seems that the throttle cables exit from under the tank on the right side. Are you both using standard throttle cables and was it a straightforward job to re route them?

Caponord ones , need a fettle on the throttle end though.

Ive got a set of Caponard ones but:
- the cable is thicker than the RSV/Tuono
- the nipples are bigger on both ends
- the adjusters on the TB end are straight not 90 degree
- they are about a foot longer than the originals
What fettling did you do mate to get them to fit

I've used them twice now. Only thing I had to do was grind the throttle end nips a bit and be creative with the routing under the tank. Works perfect imho.

mine are standard because i was too cheap to go out and buy new ones lol

sabre you'll notice that the extra length has allowed nob to route his cables round the inside of the right hand fork.. whereas mine are just straight from the tank to the throttle housing

Too expensive to buy all the Tuono parts, for me anyways, here's my cheap version of a Tuono, I call it the Milluono. Choke cable is a little tweaked, can't see shit out of mirrors, brake levers hit mirrors when you have to maneuver it in the drive or garage, other that that it's really comfy on the street. Thinking of getting the Rizoma mirrors, billet grips, brake and clutch reservoirs, kinda pricey!!!

Is it anyone that have pic of how you have drawn the throttle cables?

I've tried in every possible way, but I can't get it to look good.
