And i've got to say she is a stunner mate .:D
A keeper for sure, she's like that good looking girlfriend that you really hate but your are too shallow to let go haha. Plus i've invested so much time and money now that it'd be sacrilege to sell her without spending at least another year enjoying that engine.

Soooooooo tonight after a very elongated bath i thought it best to spend some time with my lass, here's a little mock up of the fresh paint

My back is done in from a hectic week on site but watch this space, should be finished in a fortnight or so, just awaiting delivery of some more 5D carbon wrap and MOT.

She runs sooooo well now, super excited to get out and hear that awesome engine once more Image

Just a little update as i've not had time to fart let alone give my girl some good lovin'

Anywho, ITS CHRISTMAS!! Well it was two years back and i never got around to fitting new tyre that failed the MOT, new front discs as one was warped and a few other bits n bobs.

With the kind help and loan of some tools from @JimmyTanko (James) i have managed to get the sodding wheels off, what a farse.

7mm allen, 14mm allen and a 32mm socket plus lots of heave'n' ho'in plus the usual sore hand when a stray hammer blow (back edge of my axe) hit it. (Mines at work- its not rough, its using what you've got)

Anywho, wheels are off, bearings replaced, discs ready, new rear sprocket ready (don't know why as i've done ~400 miles in 2 1/2 years)

-and the photos;

Just a heads up to anyone who wants to try, carbon wrap is a pain, you need arms like an octopus.

Yes on large stationary objects like a car its simple, but on our bikes.... Pffft
