This thread must not be allowed to die! Plenty of new foccers since this was last updated, let's see what you got then.
Bump! As above, and some have completed their projects now (Mick-H ). Plus, I just wanted to post this shot I rather like of mine, taken last summer at Wasdale Head, Lake District:
It was mothballed for the winter (well, stuffed in the shed and forgotten about :rolleyes ), just got it out and took it for its first spin of the year yesterday. Charged battery, started first touch of the button
It has a couple of small rust patches on the frame, slight paint flaking on one engine casing, nothing serious, and one or two bolts are a little furred, but I think will clean up ok. Otherwise, still pretty spotless.
I've been using the Street Triple as the winter hack, but even that didn't get much use until recently. It was great to be back on the main squeeze though
I don't think there's anything else I want to do to mine...well, I'd like to shorten the exhaust link pipe a bit, but that's all now. Oh, maybe do like you've done with the foot peg hangers on yours Mick, with the black finish, but don't know if I'll get around to it.
I might be able to help you out with some black front pegs, if your interested
Just have to make my mind up if I'm going to sell the parts I've taken off or save them in case I ever sell the bike.

:eek u wot m8?! :lol
Luke had all the standard bits off mine as part of the deal we did (dealing with the devilsyam :evil ) when he did all the work on mine. I've never planned to sell it. A kidney, maybe, but never the :faz
Yeah, I could be interested if you decide they can go Mick.
