my rs50!

[ryanperkins]

taken about 2months to get it to this stage and spent just over £1000, so far replaced all brackets, wheel bearings, all brake pads, both tyres, carbon effect brake and clutch lever, new speedo cable, speedo drive, tachometer cable and tachometer drive gear, second hand fairing (as old one was bent and basicly f**cked, it had obviously been fallen off) and finally replaced all the headse bearings, spacers and bolts!

[ryanperkins]

all replaced fairing brackets, and brackets are all genuine and cost a bomb!
also when my dad picked up my fairing for me (from london) he didnt relise it had a mighty crack in the nose cone also the picture of the bike in black is how it looked when i first got it, not much has changed as all work has been structural and mechanical! :P

[RS_Patrick]

Shame about the crack, bit of aluminium strip on the inside might fix that though.

[ryanperkins]

nah im gunna get another nose cone in the summer, and respray my whole bike into purple :P but yeah cheers man

[ryanperkins]

just put on some new grips and carbon levers with lever socks :P think it looks quite nice. i also changed my ignition barrel, seat lock and tank cap

the carbon for the steering is just a sticker i got off of ebay for 99p but cheers! , cant find another one sorry!

i have also got this on my bike made it myself out of carbon fibre sticker wrap

[ryanperkins]

also the bill is give or take £2000 for my bike (a)

[xXxKillDogxXx]

Not being rude but i think you went abit OTT on your 50 with that sort of money really since with £2000 ive had a Rs50, Rs125 and a Rx50 and ive just bought a GSXR400 today for £500... however i like the exhaust and have to admit i wanted that aswell bit weird how they go so high tho dont you think?

[ryanperkins]

I know but I work weekends and do three paper rounds, as I don't drink or whatever means I have plenty of money sitting there so I spend it on my bike :p but it's like my BMX I spent about £1200 on that!! :O but cheers man, I wanted to be different so went with the Polini can and I quite like the new positioning of the exhaust, gives it a more clean look I think but about 200 of the total cost has been garage costs :p

[xXxKillDogxXx]

What do you mean garage costs are u renting one? i was considering doing that tbh since ive got 4 bikes atm GSXR400, RS125, Motorhispania RX50 and Aprilia Rx50 lmao
