fitted original side fairing decals, I was surprised to find that david silvers sold them for £5.50 each plus postage, they arrived within 3 days, unlike motoden Honda in Shoreditch a couple of years ago, they were proper messers!!!!!
I also fitted a fabbri screen and some probolt goodies.... :wink:

How far did you strip it back? I've ordered some upper/lower fork bushes and stuff to service my forks after our chat on wobbly legs
Good man make sure you give them a good clean oh and I always soak the bushes in oil over night !
Don't know why I've always done it ?
That's clutch plates, Lloydie...
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
