Rode it like I stole it right up into the top end. :biggrin Suicidal ride which I got away with :lol: It's a little scary at high speeds and a misted up wet visor and one looses vision for a few moments. Thank god for cats eye's. It's a bit like playing a video game with only one life.

Changed the side light lens on Smokin Joe, It had been painted with that yellow paint your dad used to use on the headlights of his Cortina if going to France...

Also checked the subframe & found the original paint code...NH-359M phewww it wasn't blue...

The Yoshi exhaust don't appear to have any baffles in them but the r/h one has a loose tube which rattles when you rev it... :think: hmmmm

That's what happens when no packing material is used. The welds vibrate loose on the inner tube.

Well not today, or even recently really but I have added these Harris rearsets to my bike. I think they have been owned by a variety of members on here, and lost a few bit's as they've made their way round. Had to knock up a couple of brackets to secure the link pipes, adapt the gear linkage and I changed the brake pedal for a Ti Gilles one and the gearchange for a Harris later version. I am still missing the Carbon fibre heel plate for the brake side (if anyone has one stashed away!!) but I'm pleased with the adjustability available to give me some more leg room -
