Where abouts in Lincoln did you find that? I've never seen it about before and I used to be out on mine all the time before I stripped it.

Sounds like you've done real well with the mods already too :thumbup:

PS. If you ever wanna trade exhausts let me know, I fancy some hi level carbon cans for my streetfighter project. I've got some standard height art cans on mine 8) Same goes for anybody else who is reading this lol :mrgreen:

Hi yes the bobbins are welded on, as I replaced the swinging arm I thought it was a good time to do it, and I,ve already done something with the indicators it seems to be a problem with the high levels fitted, the person I got it from worked at the Renault dealers in lincoln, he was a real ass and refused to pass on the mot ticket until I got some help from the old bill, they told him they would charge him with withholding a legal document, next day it was on my door step delivered by hand lol............. :lol:

I live not far from that dealership, I actually drive past it everyday on the way to work.....never saw your bike though, he must have been one of them that was scared of gettin it wet?? The guy sounds like a bit of a Richard as far as the MOT cert goes too!

Well done on the mods tho, seems like your enjoying it! :thumbup:
