Good to see Indy,

Looks the Mutts Nuts

Enjoy riding her again, and keep the (new) shiny side up!

Cheers, SB

You have no idea how hard it is to find someone around here to paint Plastic.

Look forward to voting for your ride in RTOM when it's nominated

+2 Hawk - Indy , she's a looking mighty fine man ! Pipes too

Carbs out of my 1990 - cleaning the pilots and replacing pilot air needle
o-rings- seems there's air getting past one oring causing cylinder #3 to foul up
after a short idle and start to skip/miss .

Thumbs up cosmetic improvement

Did this cosmetic improvement on Friday. Trialled it on Saturday with 170 mile run. All is well.

Talking Tarting Up!

I too have been doing a little tarting up.

The nuts on the rear sprocket have been bugging me for ages 'cos they were all nasty and made the sprocket look crappy. So added stainless steel nuts.






and inspired by Seb, I fitted some mesh grill to the side vents, not sure about this though, what do you guys think, is it a touch too tarty?

Steve,
meshing looks good. Would it look meaner in black or red?

Guess what? Lost my frame slider cover yesterday so the hunt resumes

I'm going to be doing the little straked outlet on the side panels as well.

The part I got to replace the missing one wasn't right - it was a left side I cut to make fit the right side. Lost it going up the A46 at speeeeeeeed after it being on there for ages.
