    Aye, I know. It’s the second time in 18 months it’s done it to me and you get to that point where you start to wonder whether it’ll start or not. Losing faith in it tbh.

    Glad you got yours sorted though.

    Definitely worth getting a trickle charger. I use an Optimate, had it about 20 years and always bung the bike on it, never get battery problems.

    So my end cap fell off when being dyno'd because I'd cut out the wadding, so the heat just demolished it. Looks like Lakeshia's wigs down there:

    So bought some 4 inch tubing for a whopping £12 and angle grinded it to 200mm:

    Red and Black Power Ranger rivers and voila:

    Not going to polish it, as the dull finish looks like titanium. I hope it goes golden like the link pipe and outlet through the heat. Job done!

    Indeed Hitch.
    I loved the look and sound of the Delkevic, but if I de-wadded another carbon one it would have blown up like the last one. I prefer the look of carbon on my bike, but this does look the nuts!

    It does look good.
    I’m guessing the sound is off the chart as well

    Should hear the bloody Quill that come with the Blade, when I changed the coolant this week, run it up to temperature and blipped it up and down to 6K a few times to bleed it, my mate across the road working in his upstairs coronavirus home office, had to stop a zoom meeting and close the windows, bet he don’t get that issue in his Canary Wharf office too often ;)

    Clayed all the panels and tank, polished and 2 coats of ceramic wax followed by an application of Zainos Grand Seal, feels and looks as smooth as a shaved beaver.
