    It took me a little longer fitting the tail tidy as I was doing other maintenance. Then decided to take the bike for a blast n got caught in the bloody rain. Weather forecast said dry :rolleyes:. By the time I washed polished wax n lube etc it was 3am. Yep tell me about it :oops:.

    I hope the 'other maintenance' included fitting the longer bolt through the bracket holding your quickshift rod!
    Priorities R_1000, I won't be satisfied until you have posted a picture showing it corrected. lol

    Not sure that bolt does come right through the Nylon part of the nut from what I can see in the photo, but it is much improved.
    Well done R_1000, now lets have no more 'bodging' on that lovely bike. lol

    I'm thinking 08 era Blade or GSXR1000....

    Can't afford a new bike (Should be moving house in a few weeks) and none of the nakeds I've seen have got enough grunt, cant go back to 600 Supersports (No midrange for commuting country lanes to work) or a Ducati twin either (Nice bike on a run but fookin horrible in traffic)

    The best GSXR 1000 is the K 5 or 6 for grunt, and it will hold its price well.

    I'm house hunting at the moment. How much does it cost to build one of those sheds. I'm looking for a property with a garage but like to keep my options open ;)
