Using a paintbrush will be a lot less messy :lol:

Fixed my indicators and put the Battery on charge. I just realised my MOT is due at the end of February :eek2 I shall have to give it a clean and good going over for that one this year. What's the odds on my headlight being out of alignment :lol:

Nowt, but my FZS600 Fazer hugger turned up (I reckon it'll fit a TRX looking at the mounts and the fact the chainguard is the same Yamaha part number for both models, and swingarm is identical apart from chain adjusters) and it only cost £30 compared to £80 for a TRX one.....also visited Mac V2 in the principality of Grain to borrow his Abba stand, cheers Mac :thumbup:
