All fitted and workoing well.
Just had my first ride, went round the block a couple of times.

Got it back in the garage just in time, as i was going down my driveway, the front brakes locked on solid.
Could have been nasty if it happened a minute earlier.......

Damn that looks good mate

Cheers mate, though the pics make it look a lot better than it actually is.
A few marks here and there on the bodywork, it could do with a total respray, though its finished for now, might strip it again over next winter.

Hey Si, hows it going?

It rides ok, needs a fine tune, but haven`t gone too far as its not taxed or mot`d yet.

When are you "gunna" start on that YZF?
