My R1 Indy

Had it a month now and so far, touch wood - NO problems! Except securing a cycle wing!






Performance is brilliant and compared to my buddies Megabusa, I preffer it a million times more - except theirs is a tad quicker!

Looks great I'd been wondering when the pics were going to come out. How is your dash supported in the middle? Mine is very similar and flexes too much when you start the engine etc.

Not much flex at all on the jubal. My mate sknee tocuhed it when he was getting in once and it flexed, and if i am honest, i think if there was a support bracket, it may have not allowed it to flex and snapped/damaged the dash.

I think the rolled bottom edge (3 inches) helps keep it tight too.

dash is of an unknown source

switches can be bought from MNR (on offer at present)

paddleshift can be supplied through pathfinder (u2u him)

exhuast system is standard MK R1 job with a VF Micron bike race can

glad youa ll like.

colour was a gamble but i think it has worked!

Its from Mac#1 chaps. Have a look at the pics on their website and you should find it on there somewhere (or search for Mac 1 dash on here for more pics / info)

that is a great looking car - I like it a lot and not just saying that.

pity it hasn't got a proper engine but ......

is is painted or grey gel coat?

think you hsould fit the old black+white plates on to complete the monochrome look.

Great looking car
The dash looks like a Carbon Mods item, made for a Westfield if I'm not wrong (which usually am).
