2003 RSV 1000 R Factory

One of the very first Gen2's, looks lovely. How many miles?

Thanks a lot guys, 16k on the clocks but it was the condition/quality upgrades/1 previous owner that made me go for it. Also wanted to get one already with Arrows/Akras as know they'd cost a lot more if I bought them separately. Really pleased to be in the club. Excuse the slippers, I was quite excited when it was delivered

Great bike mate lovely and arrows too she looks fantastic very clean and tidy obviously been well cared for. The slippers are a bit ropey though. 

stuff the fence you'll never keep mr surfer happy with the garden he's obsessed hahaha those slippers are your priority get em on the xmas list before santa forgets you.

Famous last words... wasn't the end of the mods.It looks like Spring is just around the corner so thought I'd update here what I've done over the winter:

Thanks a lot. Forgot to add one of the wing  mirrors snapped so replaced that, presume it was from continual folding over the years. 

you certainly can't with the acculign ones. 

That's a shame as they look really well made. Thanks for the heads up on the heel guards, that would make sense with the taller part facing rearwards. Nice easy job for tomorrow.

Thanks, glad it gets the forum approval. The more I ride the bike the more I like the character of it.

Coolant change and replaced the leaking front brake reservoir. I thought the brake was good before but it's even better, although did leave a cable tie on the lever overnight. Has made blipping on downshifts easier with 2 fingers on the lever.

It does, might have to get a couple of those, much better than having the alloy ones corroding constantly

so 03 was a crossover year with both gen 1 and gen 2 available?

The recent wet weather was the motivation I needed upgrade my rear brake slave cylinder. The feeder pipe attached to the standard reservoir was slightly absorbing fluid and arguably could have been replaced, but liking the tidier look.
