Not exactly "done" but got a pillion seat for the SP2 from the states today. Pillion pegs and hangers are on their way, again from the states.
Soon, I'll be able to take my daughter out for a ride on it as promised. Then the seat comes apart so I can use the base to make a rack for camping gear.

Took the zxr for a spin, forgot how well it rides. Power wheelies from 9000rpm up to 4th gear.

Check all the bobins are freely moving, give them a good spin, nut & bolt through & spin back & forth to clear the crap out. Use some brake cleaner as well.
