Thanks mate, I had to reshape the foam and add some at the front to level it up as the subframe is jacked up, at least something looks good on it :D

the seat looks really good :thumbup:

I'm slowly taking mine to bits, keeps me off the slippery roads and stops getting the thing covered in salt.
Plans are to give it a good full service and send the forks off to get Roger'd. Depending on how much I take off it 'may' get a satin black frame too...

I took mine for a quick blast today, first time its gone anywhere for about 6 weeks.

when I got out of town and got a little warmth in the tyres it was fun but you can see why its more of a summer thing.

greasy roads , low sun and it took me about 20 minutes to get my gear on !! . knackered :roll:

Yep these roads ain't no fun ,
I was going around a roundabout and lost the front ,managed to save it .
then went into a two wheel slide and saved that too !
That wet track day really heightened my feel for when the tyres start to slide and I believe had I not done that wet track day I'd be posting a "I binned it thread"!
