Default New pics

A couple of pics of my 1991 project, my Yoshi exhaust and me new silicone hoses. Also my last project a 1990 GPZ 900R with a Triumph Daytona seat unit, only took 3 1/2 years but was an excellent learning curve. Project cost £375 as a project, end cost was over £3500 with bits like an Ape cam chain tensioner, Dynatek 2000 igniton, CBR600 stick coils , KOSO RX1NR clocks, Yoshimura silencer etc. etc.

I like the look of your tools of choice next to the bike!

I used to have a woodwork teacher that told me a hammer was for putting screws in with, a screwdriver was just for taking them back out if you're hammered them in the wrong place.

Love the exhaust and the hoses

Looks like a great job on the Kawasaki too

And don't forget to bring your tool kit. COuld come in handy for negotiating a group discount at trouble lodge, or removing teeth from a visor.
