if it wern't for dislexic people this forum wouldn't exist,so don't go there.

that looked rough and now its a lot better, well done :thumb:

cheers still need front caliper mine is buggered and a downpipe i have couple of downpipes of an xs250 but they dont match mine at all as mine are 2 into 1 and need some help on the idle mixture issue as doesnt tick over well and popping back through carbs "BUT" when it pops back it comes out the side of the inlet manifold as i found out today but i cant locate these on the net any where
