There's a few bits we need to do to it... there's a few anodized purple bolts that need to come off... bar ends need changing, R&G's fitting, full service and a few adjustments. Oh and the front brakes are squealing so I'm thinking the callipers might have seized Thinking Apart from that its spot on really. It has a full Devil system which sounds real nice Smile

Here she is...

Ok its not a hole, its a smallish dent... looks like the exhaust has taken a knock and been pushed into it at some point.

Oh and it looks like there is an oil leak aswell Sad

It needs more work than I thought Rolling Eyes Got quite a good price though so all is not lost

Aye, or at least chop a little off the end...looks very disproportionate to me.

The calipers haven't seized otherwise you wouldn't have any brakes and/or wouldn't be able to move the thing. I suggest take them apart and liberally apply CopperEase to the BACK of the pads where it touches the piston. Should solve it. Thumbs Up

P.S The bike looks facking lovely!!!
