    Ahh .. that's interesting about the light Dan .. I was sure it was a requirement
    Ya live n learn ehh

    As for the Motografix .... I did that myself. I bought a cheap kit of eBay and cut the
    undertray one and managed enough to cover the little panels that you remove to
    get at the seat bolts. Just felt it needed a bit of white here and there

    Yeah i was sure it was required but he showed me the MOT criteria and all it needs is to be clear and have a reflector close to it. He said there is a few loop holes .. 1 interesting 1 was a chain guard. If you have 1 fitted but not fitted properly then its a fail however if you don't have 1 fitted at all then it will pass.

    They look really good and if you don't mind i may keep an eye out for a cheap set to do the same

    Loop holes come in handy then you can stand your ground with the rozzers :becky:

    I have a patent on the look of my bike so if you want to adopt any of my mods you will have to pay me royalties :close_tema:

    well in the last week I have had new boots fitted to the bike. In the way of Dunlop Sportsmarts. I went for these due to good reviews almost everywhere. that They should be good for my trackday next month and for my euro trip in Sept. was thinking if I had very track biased tyres for track and it's raining it won't be any good.

    Also ASV leaver fitted and feel much better and look great.

    ANNNND fitted my GB racing covers to the bike.

    What i'm hoping. just thinking I was not a fan of Dunlops but everyone I know who has used them loves them. Plus they look good on the bike also.

    Yoshi R77 Carbon can arrived today. £435 off ebay :eyebrows:

    No baffle included and need a plug to go where the O2 sensor goes as I have a PCV and O2 sensor eliminator on the way. Or do I just attatch the O2 sensor to fill the hole then plug in the O2 sensor eliminator??? Anyway, off to take the old tin can off now!

    Damn I was bidding on that !

    Plug the O2 sensor into the exhaust and use the eliminator. It disconnect the sensor and trick the cdi into thinking it's still there so no warning light.

    You could get a plug and strip the wiring out but I'd leave it there in case you ever need it again.

    Sorry about that abv... I missed one a few days ago that went for £545 ish, but it did look in slightly better nick and had a db killer. £580 delivered is the best price I have had new. Skinso also offered to get one from his mate for £530 +delivery.

    Gave the blade a dam good spanking thought the New Forest until I came across motorcycle patrol :kiss:. Stopped for a bag of chip in Lymo on the quay. Front brakes are nicely beaded in and bikes running like a dream. One small niggle is the back brake needs a little more bleeding as it don't work good any more. Good times , good times
