As promised, fettling news

Gone are the horrid heel plates and the over loud zorst, the awful stickers on the tank and hugger, and in thier place, the Optimate socket is fitted and the bike is being drip fed in my garage right now.

What a fuckin PITA it was. I had to drill out one of the bolts holding the seat on and use a stud extractor (thanks to Ian my next doot neighbour) to remove the remains. Drilling into a modern and new to me sports bike felt VERY wrong. Done now, and the bike is lovely and quiet. So I am bidding on a full length RSS Yoshimura can on eBay......

Chain is lubed and PB stickers are applied.

A good days work. Andy, you HAVE to get one of these. Soon.
