    Turbos are easy as just an exhaust mod and oil feeds etc, but chargers need to pick up a drive from the crank, which is trickier... I was involved with super charging a yamaha 660cc back in the day at a company i used to work for that was commissioned by Yamaha... Ive got a bit of knowledge about them and happy to have a go ;)

    You put a pic up before of the number plate but blured some of it, but that pic showed the full reg, wasn't sure if was intentional

    Finished moving the ignition switched power stuff to under the pillion seat. Fitted the chain guard bits after the recent de-gunge of the chain and sprockets, and also fitted the new hugger.

    Dry fitted the new brake lines. May need to get a replacement one as the new reservoir stops the "normal" route and needs it bending down more. Will have to have a check tomorrow to see if I can route it better than I have, but suspect I will have to have a word with Mike at BDS to see if he can make me one with a coupling like this, albeit mine would need to be all black. Saying that is it OK to bend existing ones a bit?

    SPS mate, what am i seeing here !! A beautifully crafted piece of Gilles finery, mounted in a framework of grit :eek:
    Its making me twitch out... It needs a full frontal attack with some silicone spray bro, a bit of touch up on that bearing... Get it round here quick mate and i'll help take 5 foot of that wiring out of that loom too !!! And is that a copper washer I'm seeing on that linkage bolt o_O ?!
    Where do you live mate, i might sneak round like the Blackness Fairy and redeem it for you ;)
