    They done their drawing wrong and parts didn’t fit but were to their drawing as requested. Said they wouldn’t pay and then ghosted me for 7 weeks. I got fed up and took them to small claims and got my payment the day after I put a claim to them. Bizarre. A lot of excuses and threats came my way but stuck with it and got it in the end. Chalked it down to experience. Can’t fault their products and would still use them. I just wouldn’t do any work for them while I’ve got a hole up my a$$.

    note to add they changed their drawing 4 tones between the initial quote and manufacture, tightening tolerances right up. Still did them for same price. Naive me!

    Bit of a c*nts trick isn't it :eek:

    Speaking of machining, how feasible is an exhaust hanger? I'm guessing it would be a pain in the arse and expensive material wise? I'm using a pipewerx one atm but it's not perfect, using spacers etc and looks a bit naff.

    Other option is I can turn some funky looking spacers up for you so looks like it should be there?

    Bike looks bloody smart too

    Made a start on doing my first & last pair of fork seals...I think next time I’ll leave it to the people who get paid to fit them.
    First time using a headstock paddock stand aswell and the bike hasn’t fell over yet so at least I’m doing something right. 9F18408A-EB10-4D47-AEC8-D9D856D5B0E6.jpeg

    Cheers mate. Heres one from when I installed it and a few since it's been ran. Think it's only had about 500 miles on it so should colour up a bit more once I can get some more miles done.

    Wasnt the easiest thing to fit but definitely worth it!

    Trial fitted my chainguard lol. I’ve decided I want to keep the big hugger on so not sure about keeping the guard on, may have to modify it to fit better.

    oh and a pic on the new ABBA stand courtesy of @Robbo52 :) 2EF96A05-7022-429D-B233-835A4C1FBA9E.jpeg 49E86A18-F086-408B-911E-0482A0F672E8.jpeg F7CED935-BC72-4601-B9D8-833FB51AA9B0.jpeg 41845054-F65E-4C3E-A5B0-3100AA3386F1.jpeg C75EE558-8C71-419B-B0F8-E2DB3B625275.jpeg 68B5D557-C128-43AB-B20F-C0CDAC5C62C4.jpeg 80B3C497-54F4-4923-8E8C-819566AA51EE.jpeg 76382EB4-18D9-4F54-8A51-66DA749B1291.jpeg A90A148A-F3C1-43C1-AABF-00A46B2EC4F0.jpeg

    So today, I added some rim tape. Not everyone's cup of tea, but noone here likes my bike anyway (I did back to black the caliper on this side of the bike in case the clean Police see this post):
