Just 3 low res camera phone pics for now. Observations for now:
All the parts of the JVB kit generally speaking fitted quite well aside from some messing around with getting all the wiring, clutch and brakes lines tucked in behind the new, much smaller headlight.
The radiator was a bit of a pain to remove, paint and refit. Getting the high temp paint to stay on the radiator was interesting and took multiple attemps......
Sourcing the Arrow exhaust was a bit pot luck as they don't list this style for the XSR700. It's a combo of a manifold (Yamaha Tracer) and MT07 end can and bracket which had to be redrilled to hang off the rear pillion mounts.
The headlight paint required several attempts to get right too with every try ending up in a dull matt finish. In the end I finished it off with professional clear gloss lacquer and it came out great, shinier than new.
I should be getting some better pics soon once the bike is properly detailed.
