    Spark plugs (even though they were not due yet)
    Gutted the Air intake and smoothed it out
    Gutted the Cat
    Gilles chain adjusters
    Titanium rear axle nut
    Carbon front Nose and side fairings (bought - just not arrived yet)
    Fitted LED rear brake lights under the tail (didnt like them so they came off)
    Rear Ohlins Shock
    Matris Fork cartridge kit
    New 1 piece leathers (Alpine stars Fluro)
    New Bell M6 Carbon helmet and dark visor
    Booked in for a professional suspension set up at knockhill 10th May
