Lovin the Green Jacket Lloyd :thumbup: And Seb I don;t like those colours together, how about all Purple or all Yellow. But at the end it the day it comes down to personal preference. So whatever you like.

tinkered with my spare engine today, i swapped over the late model cam covers with the pairs system, for a pair of freshly painted early model cam covers. i've just got to block one of the holes on the underside of the airbox now.
i wanted to swap over the side stand, but one of the two bolt is shagged... :( oh well i'll leave it as it is.
i also refitted the rear fairing because i didn't fit it properly before... :oops:
i decided to put the original seat back on as the bikes up for sale.
i also adjusted the lhs race can as it was slightly tilted outwards. now its lots better. i still need to sort out the bar ends and grips tho.
HEY YOU GUYS!!!!!!

Some weird voodoo magic sh1t :lol: and now everything tastes of petrol. See Lloydie for the full story.. Coming soon to a thread near you :wink:

(In all seriousness, thanks a lot Lloyd. Absolute legend to give up 2 days free time and manage to not try to kill me at least once, as well as helping me not die. Thank you so much :thumbup:)

Gave it a good polish today. Tried out a spray can of polish/wax made my muck off. Works well and gives a good shine. Also got my exhaust off and gave them a good polish with the polish Lloydie suggested a while a go. I tell you what it work a treat. I could do with going over them again but at the moment I can not be arsed so I shall do it again another day. What do you think?

This pic is half polish and half not polished.

Polished. Like I said needs a few more coats.

And the whole lot looking nice and shiney :D
