    Just some shite I found on ebay, the originals had what looked like gritty chewing gum embedded into them and It wouldn't clean off so just needed a quick fix! ;)

    Bought a SP subframe and a can of black plastidip!
    Found it for 190€ posted! From an endurance race team, so it looks brand new, just used during the engine break-in.
    This will continue the update of my 2010 bike :)

    Looking great, Lozzy. Needs a bit of Harpic on the header pipes though:).

    When does it go in to get ABS fitted?:D

    Been out on my RR4 today. It is just sooo good. No wonder the track guys like them. I am now convinced that their geometry is much better set up than the later models (food for debate I guess) including the 2017-18. It sits so well, is more comfortable, and inspires confidence.

    I feel as if I should buy a 'Repsol' version, but alas, I couldn't cop the flack from you guys after (friendly) dissing Repsols for months.;)

    . . . and for the afternoon I did some serious detailing on my VF. For anyone who has had one of these, you will remember what a bleedin' pain the wheels are to clean. Just so finicky. I've had a few goes now and am sure that I have spent in excess of 6 hours just on the wheels with WD 40 and Mr Sheen. But it's coming up to spec now:

    Cheers, Gary. It's an '85 model. The first ones in 1984 had the colours predominantly reversed, i.e. mainly red tank, red seat etc. The last model ('G' - 1986) was more blue and white akin to the Rothmans livery. It really is a dinosaur, but a nice one at that. 224 kilos, compared to the Blade's 185ish makes pushing it into my lounge room a major chore!!

    I love it, but in reality it is a poor man's RC45:(.
