Cheers for the tips guys, I've canned the idea for now as I ruined one of the boards taking it off and have no more vinyl to make another atm. This seat unit is only temporary until I can afford the next stage :D

Axle bolt and carbon arrived today :) pinch bolt should be here tomorrow. Waiting to sell my RVF forks before buying the airtubes.

Also ruined my favourite lucky purple hoodie, so invested in a new lucky black nc30 hoodie :)

Got bored, busted out the white vinyl and scissors, what started off as a small flash to break up the black turned into using the whole lot :/

Finally had a chance to rejet the carbs to suit the new exhaust, took it for a spin and was very impressed :D the fuelling is much better, went from 108 Keihin to 116 dynojet mains, so a fair jump! Only thing that irks me is that it's far too easy to touch my heel on the top exhaust link pipe, so thinking of putting my old TSR rearsets back on :up:

Got it all put back together again and took it to work. Goes really well now, next on my list is sorting the suspension, the front is a bit soft.

Did however notice the stock indicator is right in the firing line of the exhaust....
