Looking very nice Kev!

just in time for the warm weather.

Been riding my blade a lot of late but need to work on the suspension as it is squatting and front lifting and wagging.. rather off putting.. don't mind the lifting but the squat and waggle is not on!

Kev,

<OFFTOPIC> If you do trackdays on your Mille I have a spare set of wheels with Discs and Pirelli Wet Tyres for sale Also got two sets of race bodywork, one new, one abused (Donnington Park, scratched not broken) All good prices to clear.<ONTOPIC>

Cars coming on nicely mate, wish I had your drive!

Spray the indicators black with the indicator tiniting laquer.

It will look much better and cheaper than clear indicator lenses!
