What make? Are they still available, or is it a flea-bay job?

lloydie, the bike looks good, I think the mod to the pipe position is better, but dont your heels touch the link pipes when riding?

Looking at the old photo you posted in the SP1 pipes thread, I have to say I like the low level look better with the tipped up angle you had got, but thats just my personal view. I also like the shape of the front mudgaurd that you have had to use with the blade forks, the longer fork leg covers look far more modern than the std storm part.

@ Benny, stop polishing it so much, you'll wear through the paint and frame!

Seriously, has that bike ever been outside an air-conditioned, dehumidified room?!!!

I've seen goldfish with more dust on them.

Anyway, what have I been doing today? Can you guess?

rode it all through winter mate apart from the snow

nothing is polished apart from the paintwork, it's just kept how it came out of the crate

Fitted newly acquired Black tail plastics, took it for a spin & glad to report it's just as quick as it was before, seems I'd have to fit some blue bodywork to slow it down, but that would just look silly.

It may not be to everyone's taste but I think it works, plan is to paint the fork bottoms black & I may have to do the rear footrest hangers as well to match it up.

As was

So ashamed of the sore, nasty looking redness that he is gradually changing the colour. What a terrible admission of the error of your choices. Have you no moral standards? Oh the humiliation, Mac, Mac ,Mac. How the mighty have fallen!
