    Yep, finally. I'm quite happy with the bike apart from some issue causing super stiff steering.

    Yeah I have to run mine without the waterproof cover to have enough space,might seal it later but seems fine now.

    Not sure, haven't been able to check yet. I don't think so though, I certainly hope it isn't haha

    Looking good, in regards to the stiff steering, you haven't over tighten the stem nuts at all?

    Fingers crossed I'll get there, welding up the subframe mounts is the last major job.

    Prepped the bottom subframe mounts for welding and started hacking up my old midpipe for my new exhuast.



    Just gotta learn how to weld now...

    Cool. These new "non-underground-parking-area" photos are making the bike look different again. Tidy little project this one.

    Exhaust done, sounds great and I'm somewhat impressed with the quality given it's Chinesium.

    Sounds 10/10 but actually not too bad as I put a baffle in the header, pretty civilised at idle.

    Loving it mate. Top stuff
    Ladies and Gentelmen, take my advise. "Pull down your pants and slide on the ice."

    That looks great!



    (I wonder how it feels to fit on a bike and not make it look like a 125)
    If I had a dollar for every time I thought about you, I'd start thinking about you

    Pretty great, I fit on everything! One of the upsides to being on the shorter side :P
