what pipes are they buzaiki? never seen these before.
nate, your bike is well executed, just need some decent rubber (17') and lomas pipes to kick some big deisel arse!! are you thinking of putting a 17' rear on or leaving std wheels? the 17' rear makes life easier when it comes to tyre choice but tbh i think tyre technology has moved on and even the tyres available for std wheels is better than any road rubber from a few yrs ago. btw, the best colour is green/black for the 1s, top marks!!!

Looks great
I do like the subtle extra black bits and it does need the front and rear stickers.
what about black disc rotors?
looks good as well buzaiku.

As requested.... Sorry it's taken me about a month to pull my finger out...
Piccies of the rear brake line attached (kinda) to the swing arm...
The P clips are from Goodridge, got when I bought the brake lines...
There are supposed to be black sqaure plastic clip things I made which I thought would be self tapping and would secure them on...
Unfortunately, after I got back from my ride (apologies for the mud) I found they were missing... so back to drawing board on this one

i've got some of this clips - mine are held in place by some small nylon
nuts (can't remember where i got them from)
failing that you try try small cable ties over the thread or small R clips

Nylon nuts sounds promising
I after a solution to this too
Do you know what size for the nut

Nylon nuts are a good idea... I made some up out of some spare fairing I had kicking around... but didn't bother threading it... Just hoped that it would "self tap" down...
Obviously it didnt... I did look at those soft nylon nuts on number plates but they were too big

How about a bit of PVC pipe cut to length? wind that down onto the threads and it should stay there.
This is the sort of thing I was thinking about

I've always got shit loads of that 5mm pvc piping (use it on irrigation systems on Pubs etc) If you want a bit I can post you some no problems.
It's great stuff for bleeding brakes as well, cut two lengths, stick it on your bleed nipple run to master cylinder, open nipples, pull bake lever and go for a brew-job done.
Stuff I've got is gloss black, costs about a tenner for 100m!
