Love the finish on the engine side covers, enjoy setting the engine up with those filters, been there and would swap out the airbox as a very, very last resort.

But the turd in the pool for me, is that spedo. uggh.

Move the key or go keyless and site it in the ig switch recess at a push but even then...

I know what you mean bud, if I could I'd mount it on the side like I did with Betty, but sadly that's the only place it can go so I can see it. 

Might look better when the rest of the front end is on????

Looking good buddy. I love how clean the engine looks. Id love to pull my engine out and give her a makeover but with show season starting soon i cant be bothered.

So all is going well she's starting to look more like a bike again but I'm stuck, still waiting on the seat unit to arrive and so far the tracking info states that it's had two failed collections as the parcel wasn't packed and the other one was that the sender wasn't at the unit to open up shop! So a slightly snotty email sent stating I want it dispatched tomorrow if not I shall be naming and shaming him.

Too right. When did you pay for it?
