yeh its a bitch to keep clean lol dry days only lol .....i did learn a little trick told to me by an old skool biker.....once your wheels are clean polish them with furniture polish....it puts a thin coating on the wheels and makes life easy when cleaning them....i tried this and have to say it works...dirt just runs off them and come up pearly white every time.

Very nice looking example mate. Any plans for more mods? From the shot above it looks like the CCT's are stock fella. It would be worth considering sorting them double quick.

looks good, wheels set it off well, and I like teh white cam covers too :thumbup:

the furnature polish is a good tip, but need to make sure you dont spray the discs

tensioners can be bought from a couple of members on here, or from e-bay

Bazza696, or Rider on a storm do them.

or there is a stopper mod that you can do your self. it is described in the workshop knowledge base.

the blades will be fine
