Fitted... Smoked LED rear light, black std chin spoiler, black CNC clutch & break levers,carbon F/m-gaurd, changed the headlight bulb. Oh & fitted Benny's old Fabbri DB screen.

Little tip for you all, when changing the headlight bulb don't try doing it with a knackard/wonkey wrist it may result in pain & dropping said bulb into the headlight which then results in the need to remove fairing to fish the fecker out...Just saying like...

Oh & I didn't bother cleaning it or the filthy rear shock...

Shame the police didn't agree!
Did you get a tug then?

Nice touch with the helmet.boots and gloves in the pic Mac :clap:

I paid the Pineapple another visit today and done some more tinkering in the sun. Bikes coming together but we have got held up on him waiting on some parts. I had a go at riveting his chain but that was proving to be hard work so told him to take to the garage and get them to do it with a proper professional chain riveter. If it was my own I would have done it but I don''t want to be responsible for someone else's.

Obviously not traffic bobbies then who are little more sensible and are mostly only concerned with road safety when they are not revenue making.

Not long to jamies workshop day. Think about his poor mother with all us men there.

That will be the extra lift hole. Fill it back in with epoxy resin but do a neat job. A bit of card or something in the back of the slide so you don't shove lumps through the hole, let it dry and wet n dry the outside smooth.

Have read of some of Mav's posts to cheer yourself up Tony :lol:

I hate misplacing my bike key as I only have the one :eek2 It always turns up in the end though.
