In preparation for the coming season of dirty fun ... I have smartened the old girl up a bit.
As usual it has all been done as cheaply as possible on ebay.

Wavey front disc and new pads.
Full alloy sump guard.
Original headlight assembly.
New graphics.
Big fat comp3 tyres.

Personally I think simply losing the yellow bits has made it look a few years younger Smile

That looks much better. Maybe to further improve it you could paint the downpipes with a heat-resistant matt black paint.

I am doing the header pipe tomorrow.
Will just clean and polish it - as it comes up like black chrome anyway.

The front pipe is being polished tomorrow.
God knows why, I am only going to throw it through mud and grit at the weekend.
