Looks as though Tony does a good job, I have some work I could put his way if he's interested?

Think he's always up for work

MOT'd the bike on Friday straight through, 1 advisory fairings missing. Took bike out for first shake down run yesterday, didn't go too well!!! Spare tank leaking like he'll when full, water drain pipe corroded in the tank. Chinese rads, cap not sealing, and rear caliper sticking. Bodged the tank, rad cap just needed tweaking, stripped the caliper, and rear M/C think some crud blocked the return hole, have had a 35 mile run today all seems well after doing some running repairs, engine feels very responsive, can't wait to get my panels from Tony and hopefully the bike will be finished. Only 5 weeks till the bike will be running me around the IOM TT for a week

ok all Ive finally finished the bike so posting some pictures of the finished article
