Thanks for that :thumbup:

cf hugger - Not keen on huggers :(
rearsets.... :wink: - In progress :wink:
cf fender extender - good idea
skidmarx bellypan - hell yes!
seat re-trim - not for me, unless in suade.
wavy discs - mmmmm! :)
titax levers - in progress
blade calipers - now we're talkin'
mori headers - in progress (waiting for some welding to one mori can)

Still a way to go, but I can see the light at the end of the noisy Stormy tunnel :thumbup:

I'm in two minds about that.. Matte metalic gunmetal vinyl wrap or painted gloss white?

Nice work Jamie. I think the silver looks good, particularly with the use of black panels to break it up. :thumbup:

Funny innit, I like it with black wheels. Be boring if we all liked the same thing.

Compared to stock the 11.5-1 compresion gives a good increase in torque, great for wheelies and improves efficiency so better mpg. I would think about + 5/6 BHP also.
