What a refreshing post Bill!.
I too have been lucky enough to meet Kayla and her better half and she is indeed all of what you say even if she is a bird..
A rather bloody good one tho for a change

I'm going to tell you something right now .!!!!!!
That girl has more savvy and knowledge of;
Engineering and fabrication,
C.A.D design, implementation and operation,
Requirements of what is neccessary to perform any workshop task from a service to an engine or suspension transplant not only correctly but safely,
Advice appertaining to; and specific knowledge of; Yamaha FZR 400 and 600 motorcycles ,
Modification and enhancement of any make of motorcycle;
than 90% of the contributors on this forum .
I will also state she is more than likely to be capable of out-performing them riding a motorcycle the way they were intended ,
The latter I cannot state for a fact as we did not have time to go out on bikes that day.(Blizzard conditions did'nt help)
The rest of the above post is factual.
It is matterless what Kayla's gender is !!!!!!!!!

Kayla and Chris did the 600R front end,rear wheel and 850 trx arm.
I did my usual R6 shock and blue spots,fitted the hugger,and put the 600 tank on it and used a spare micron from stock.Used R6 master to turn outlet 90 degrees and utilised double braided.Will pick up hanger from Simmi tomorrow but no rides till spring-roads minging up here now.
Just writing parts list for 2TK today,ready for start of refurb.

Cheers,tried a 600 kawasaki ohlins with remote but it was 340mm and just too long.
The kid I bought the 3HE off had a one that would have been perfect, but at £100 and totally goosed it was a non starter.
