Though your bike is red so painting the whole thing black would speed it up

Hmmm mine was originally red in the beginning lol..... Ive been busy painting panels today


Watch this space lol

Fitted the Corbin seat the postie brought me this morning.
My fat ass likes it, very comfy.
Any recommendations on looking after the leather, it's going to be out in all weathers?

Easy- keep your fat ass on it, to protect it from the rain.

stripped the battery box and airbox of the mt350 then wiggled out the carb
proceeded to take it apart and clean her out

had a lot of crap in it but after re assembly and re fitting to the bike it still suffer from what ever is causing her to not run and to die
a spluttery death
