To be honest, I haven't seen a tail tidy that I actually like. I know I'm probably on my own here, but I just don't think the moulded ones with the in…login to view the rest of this post

Hi Guys, Apologies if this has been covered before, but can anyone explain why people cut down the undertrays on their R1's? I've had a look at the un…login to view the rest of this post

No history ( :!: ) but I bought it as a long term project for complete strip down and re-build. I think the main challenge might be finding par...
