A picture of my bike and a bit of info.

20k on the clocks.

all standard apart from screen and hugger.

wanting some beefier sounding cans can't really appreciate big v twin when there baffled down to a measly 80db.

also wanting seat cover any colour as it can easily be sprayed.

Canterbury what about yourself?
About half way between you & Dr. Mons, that's if you take a small detour! Ha Ha.

No seriously I'm in Grain.

Don't worry about about all these replies trying to scare you about Tony, he really is a top bloke! :thumbup:

I went to his for my CCT surgery, I opted for the self spannering with guidance method & apart from the constant terrible jokes it was quite painless.

The tea's good but don't accept the cider!

I was going to say the same thing! :D

And all these conversations we see about what colour is the fastest never mention the real fastest one.

SILVER! :thumbup:

Maybe using some film from the guys who do vehicle wraps would allow you check it out

Spooky how I answered your question before you posted it :shifty: :shifty:

Cheers thank's everybody yep that's a good point in the colour discussions nobody ever considers silver although I'm currently toying with the idea of adding some blue to make it a bit more colourful, any thoughts maybe midnight blue or something.
