fingers crossed for you watty......... :thumbup:
I've done a little tinkering today, removed my tankpad that had gotten slightly damaged when I used a tank bag... :roll:
fitted a spare yellow tankpad, I think it looks ok....
Image
then I sorted the missing P issue, the decal firm sent me another decal, this time with the correct spelling... :wink:
Image
re-fitted the standard bellypan....
Image
then I spent some time making a carbon fibre bracket for the ohlins remote adjuster, i'm rather happy as it turned out ok, I used 3mm real carbon fibre sheet, it feels plenty solid enough to me. it's not the best of picture,
Image
I also fitted a chavi blue led side light bulb, not sure if I like it tho, I originally bought 4 bulbs for the dash, I might change it back to a normal bulb...
Image
oh and I started it up for the first time in 3 weeks, she purred like a kitten and fired up first time.... :thumbup:
