    New oil and filter, sump washer, brake fluid change, cables lubricated, clutch adjusted, chain tensioned and cleaned and all bolts torqued up, and to top it off, a bloody good wash and polish using Meguiars new range of polishes. Came up mint. I need new chain and sprockets soon as the chain is near the end of its life…..

    Is that an R77 pipe Si?

    Is that a standard Blade exhaust cover or is that a Yoshi job too?

    (Nice pix BTW!) :)

    I've no idea in all honesty mate. The yoshi is loud when caning it with baffle out, with baffle in, its a bit louder than the OEM can.

    Bloody Hell Simon, now that’s a shine! It puts Carl’s and mine to shame, and that’s saying something mate. Have you been to the Karate Kid school of polishing ?

    That's the next question who has changed the fluid on a ABS ? And how long and is it really a specialist jobby.

    That looks awesome mate. I always use Auto Glym, but that looks fantastic. I have just traded my black R1 in for a Repsol 'Blade and I know from over 5 years experience how much hard work goes in to keeping a black bike looking good. Also had 2 black Sierra XR4x4's years ago and they were a nightmare.

    Yet again, words fail me Si. That bike is canine genitalia and that's a sick shine you've got. Is it meguiars NXT range?
