Image works do a decal set for the lawson so i ordered that then emailed them with pictures of what they've missed and eventually they made them, the carbon look trim i'll do myself.

I love the mk2, it was the quickest thing around when i was 17 and that 7 speed box was trick as, 2 stroke dayz RIP :(

Im going to build another one from the ground up but ive been trying to source the mega rare SP parts for years now but it seems collywog is hoarding them all. its easier to source honda RS125 mags and forks than it is the MITO SP parts.

Yep, overkill. It's pretty tight whichever way you mount the damper, and at that length you'll be fouling either your fairing, clocks or your knee. 140 mm is the norm. You can get away with 120 mm on a race bike with steering stops if you're up for the turning circle of a B-double (lorry) ;)

cheers superlite mate, did think that too. jusy wanted to confirm. all the 140mm dampers on egay do tend to get snapped up pretty sharpish though, so a 130mm would prob do too. least that gives me 2 sizes to search for, cheers fella


shaun


oh, link to the damper if anyone else is interested....
