To you, yes, but other people might think differently and upon reading your reply might think it's a straight swap, which it isn't,as you need those bushes and not everyone's got a lathe.

I've fitted some of Sivert Raask's rearsets, which are slightly higher and further back than the OEM peg configuration.
Had a set of those on many years back. Nearly highsided coming out of Abbey (or was it called Abbots) on old Anglesey. Landed back on the bike but the force managed to snap the peg. They are a fairly brittle casting so make sure you carry a spare if trackdaying or racing.

Thanks Mark, I've snaped pegs like that before, so will make sure I have spares

It was dry yesterday, so I wheeled the bike out of the garage and took some pictures.
I need to get the number boards done still, but was playing around with what stickers I'm going to have and sizes etc.
I think the tank Kawasaki needs to be up sized a little, but I'm getting there.

Glad you like it, I'm happy with it so far, just need to get it finished and get it on the track for some winter tests.

Love it,it's class the bodywork just flows so well =D>
Not too many stickers though the plain black is pretty much perfect

There are no stickers yet, what you can see is what I just printed and stuck those on with tape. I did it to get a feel for size etc.
The number boards will be ral 6002 (leaf green) with white numbers, as per ACU regulations.
I'm going to go slightly larger with the kawasaki tank sticker and I think I'll leave the small stickers on the belly pan as they are.
Only other addition is a large ish team logo which will be in white and will go on the main side of the fairing.
Any thoughts and opinions on my sticker scheme welcome.

that looks very nice.
Thinking of painting some design on my bodywork over the winter (once I've repaired the scratches
)

Here's some of the bike at Cadwell.
I still need to do the graphics and there is more race prep work to be done over the winter, but it's certainly getting there.
Thanks again to everyone that's helped me out with this project.
