Hi , I am new guy .. this looks as good a thread as any for introductions .. current rides are .. The supernonsense And the little nonsense ..A semi resto project , bought it last week badly neglected in a garden . Clutch slipping , low power .. general untidy scruffy peeling stickers rusty nastiness .. A week of work in the evenings with the spanners, little sleep ,coffee and some guess work and we have a runner with good comp , good starting and no clutch slip . Ahh singles ya gotta love the simplicity .. nice to get away from the dirty great diseasels at work .
Took the 511 and it's new front end for a shake down run to make sure the ZipTy oil tank isn't leaking... so far so good...
Was the husky MOT yesterday . Was all a close run thing though , had to go to the next town over to get a front tyre , things went wrong , man did not have my tyre , clock was ticking . Found a shop had a Maxxis supermaxx on the shelf .. never had one of those before .. I took it I was desperate . They threw it on the front .. " take it easy now sir , new tyre .. blah blah " .. Brrraaaap Braaaap , sat nav say 23 mins to MOT station , I have 8 mins . Straight into the first roundabout ... scrub or die .. sailed round no probs ..few mins of ridiculous riding later ... Made it to the test center . Pleased enough with the Maxxis tyre on a dry sunny day , see what it's like on a cold damp day for final evaluaton .
Haven't taken it for a real ride yet, sliced my hand open and constant rain lately. From the round the block test run it's 1 finger stoppies galore lol Fork stickers will go once the classier crispy designs ones show up. No speedo either so need to be careful while it's still registered! still a bit of head shake at speed, no idea what speed though lol

that can is so cute, I want to pinch it on it's cheek! Contact me if you need any rear axle block sliders. You can find all the info you need on them in the "Official Six-Nine Design Axle Block Slider Thread" in this (Supermoto) forum.
Looks great! Where did you get the black radiator shrouds and side pannels? I haven't had much luck finding the side pannels for the dual exhaust, in anything but white. Who did the graphics? Thinking the 08 450RR had the black plastic and graphics like that, but I'm not sure. Thanks
