All sounds good Johnno... a few pics will be nice !!
Did those plastics repairs include a re paint ? how much did they charge mate ?
When turning slow , I try to keep the power up just a little ...even just a touch of power to the rear will tend to retard the front wanting to fold under ..
When running up Aurthur's Seat here on the Peninsula ..the hair pin turns are a bastard for causing that on the 1000F , but just trying to keep the rear under some power make her glide around them..
Even if I come into them under full decelleration , I always try to hit the gas early coming out to lift her up and out of the sharp slow stuff with minimal bother..

As promised her she is, she still need a complete detail and a few more cosmetic items.
I still have the rear end rebuild to do, but that only an afternoons work.
CBRCLASSIC the panels were, front fender main front fairing two infill panels (fuse cover) including repairs and painting $480 and a bloody good job, also rear taillight panel plastic welded but no re painted.
By the way guess what missing?
Thanks for all the support guys.

Naga Thai - (nice to have you back) got it in one. i have not bought a new chain yet, part of the rear end re build, next weekends job.
cbrsixpack is also right the main front fairing is a 93 model colour scheme, this is the one i bought of ebay, i am going to sell the one i took off the bike.
Man she looks f***in sweet i cant wait, even the wife was impressed when she saw it - the bike i mean. Concentrate boys.
