Got a new cover from ebay - £1.80 :grin: now fitted with a new gasket and a smear of sealant either side so hopefully that problem now sorted.

Also, the champagne gold/silver tape has arrived from the US. There is LOTS of it and looks a pretty good colour match too!

G3 make one of the best rubbing compounds. Great if you have a polishing mop too.

Indeed ;). Just back from a test ride with the HRC map installed. I've set the redline back to 14,500 to be on the safe side and moved the last advance point accordingly.

Bike is noticably crisper and zingier, love it :grin:
