Hope you don't mind mickvp, I had a fiddle with it to made it look a lot better I feel,
Great photos!None to show here, was too busy riding 300 miles, West Midlands to Llangollen to see the aqueduct there, then on through to Dolgellau and back round to Welshpool, Shrewsbury, Kidderminster then home. Great weather and my first ride on the Fazer Thou; very pleased with her, should have bought one years ago.

But obviously I don't stop on those ones On these gnarly mountain routes, you can't give it any welly - too narrow, gravelly, generally dodgy, so you're going slow; so it's no hardship to stop for snaps quite often. But in Wales...ooooh yeah, cracking riding roads. Didn't stop so much myself when I rode a lot there

Top Yoke was looking a bit tatty where keys have scuffed an arc into the paint finish, so removed yoke and sanded it down a good coat of etching primmer, two under coats, 3 colour base coats and two good clear lacquer coats. It was black but now it metallic silver, I painted the handle bar posts at the same time but kept the clamps black.Also removed other two keys from the ignition key so should not happen again.
Cheers for that Dude I rather like the look of that will have a look on evilBay see I can find one, not sure about a red on though might slow the old girl down. Lol!In the mean time i found this soft rubber fob in my Man Drawer, so it will do until I can find a SILVER fob like the one you showed. The problem was I had a few other keys, including Yale front door key, along with the ignition key and they were doing the damage.

I now all 3 of my lock keys on there along side the ignition key. Then keep my house/car/garage Keys on a separate keyring in my pocket.seems to be a good system so far. I did try the whole single ignition key thing but found I kept leaving it in the bike haha so the £5 for the key sock thingy was well spent. Not sure I've ever seen a silver one though but that's probably because people with silver bikes don't like to look after them 😉
