Started it up. Did I say that previously???

Took it to the garage, fuelled it up, transformed the handling via the air line(36 front, 42 rear.....both 10+ up on what was already in lol!!), took it for an underside jet wash and had an hour or so shake down in prep for a longer ride tomorrow.

Happy days.

Had a local upholsterer put on my Ebay seat cover from Poland.  The old cover was fine, but it detracted from the new paint.  Hard to believe it is a 22 year old bike!

I agree. Was in two minds first time I saw that paint job, olive drab, it's so different. I like it more with each viewing. Clever.

One humble suggestion, if I may?

Lose the crash bars, they're too small to do much good anyway and too shiney (had them on my Mk2)

Get a set of proper ones and blend them into the overall colour scheme along with the bash plate?

 

Or would that be too much?
