Tangoed! :thumbup: Nice colour , but shame the decals have been applied haphazardly.

Weighted bar ends look odd or are missing? Like the indicator mirrors as holes for indicators in the fairing seem to have been filled in.

To take them off depends if they've been lacquered over.

Here are some vector decal files that you can made up at a vinyl printers if you tell them the size and colour http://www.vtr1000.org/phpBB3/viewtopic ... 3&p=224170

well its done about 25000 miles and without looking through all the servicing and maintenance receipts im not sure what has been done but i'll probably look at replacing all the filters, the cct, R/R, spark plugs, and the chain just to keep her sweet.
