Scrapped the idea of number boards, got it 3/4 the way on and it all bunched up Sad will instead spray them on if I bother.

Also, to compliment the lightweight carbon, I ordered some titanium bits....

I've always wondered what kind of people would spend 20 on one of those stupid bolts.

I guess people like you. Lol

To be fair, it is a colossal waste of money.

For the same weight saving you could just take a shit.

Bought the pinch bolt because mine is pretty chewed up and manky looking. Axle bolt just because I wanted something shiny tbh.

They do sound good, kind of like a mini V8 Very Happy exhausts are a pain to get hold of and seem to kill more than a fair share, iirc there was a company offering stainless replacements that could be fitted without dropping the motor for about £300

I wonder why you think it wasn't, I'm sure 99% of people clear coat over the carbon, otherwise it'll be shit.

Looks coated to me... and I'm blind

Fair dos statement retracted. It does look very dull in the first photo like it's still just gel coat.

In fairness the picture isn't great, for some reason the camera is good if it's in full light or full darkness, but it craps itself if it's half light Sad

Got bored, busted out the white vinyl and scissors, what started off as a small flash to break up the black turned into using the whole lot :/

Finally had a chance to rejet the carbs to suit the new exhaust, took it for a spin and was very impressed Very Happy the fuelling is much better, went from 108 Keihin to 116 dynojet mains, so a fair jump! Only thing that irks me is that it's far too easy to touch my heel on the top exhaust link pipe, so thinking of putting my old TSR rearsets back on Thumbs Up

Got it all put back together again and took it to work. Goes really well now, next on my list is sorting the suspension, the front is a bit soft.

Did however notice the stock indicator is right in the firing line of the exhaust....
