Hello Kano, nice bike and a good detailed rundown of the work you've done, keep it up.

And Ted I know what you mean by living near the sea I wouldn't be able to get on with living inland, only feel at home by the coast.

thank you for your warm welcome just like being back home.
i have to say after 8 yrs away im home sick for southend on sea
yes i know i must be crazy lol.

pig im still having a nightmare getting jets right on this bike its on the list lol after busa end seamlessly bolts into place and hydraulic clutch for my old arthritic hands and a new set of bars from a yz in gold don't think the colour will help my back but the bars should give a more upright riding position.

going to drop seat off for recovering tomorrow and watching the mail for the triples.
