New bloke.
Hi chaps.My lad has got himself one of those pesky R1 thingies.Its been down the road on its right hand side.Unsurprisingly,its gonna need a few bits and bobs.It ll give him something to do over the winter!It could do with a partial strip and a good clean so we can have a good look at whats needed.So far,after a quick glance,it deffo needs both side fairings and belly pan,nose cone,seat unit and it looks like the clutch case may have a weep.It seems to run okay(motor wise)and go in a straight line,so the basics are okay!Time will tell eh?Anyway,hi and probably bug you lot with some questions later.Its a 4XV by the way.Cheers Keith.

Welcome. I'm surprised Jomps didn't ask for photos, so I will!

Welcome along Keith. Hello to you if not said already.
Don't remember a tea drinker at the 17BBQ...or a lot else mind you. Apart from Passion snoring, Remi licking and a rogue turd up the tent end.
