HI all,

I have done everything bar the tank and scuffs so far

Little update -

took her for a mot today, see if the forks would pass... !

And she flew through no problems, and was already MOT'd !!!! although pretty sure that should have been voided as was written off..... but anyway, had it done and as I say passed

Just ordered a set of oxford 2010 heated grips, as its getting a tad chilly in the mornings/evenings will be a all year biker, except snow/ice if its still on road


Just need to change the right hand hanger as bent, but usable... and will overhaul the forks with oil/springs
