Thanks for the welcome gents.
I need to get a few more bits sorted.
I want a seat cowl, DB screen (got a blue flip screen and don't like it), and may look for a Y piece to go with the Yoshis.

Welcome to the forum mate, seeing as I'm from Sutton-In-Ashfield I'm hoping that YOU get some dry weather over the weekend 'cos that means I'll get some as well.

Finally got out for my first quick ride on her today.
Absolutely fantastic!
Can't wait to get out again.
A few photos from today as I have not had chance to get any up until now.

No, they are the more expensive and better quality motograffix ones.
I bought these cheap ones.
Have to say they look good tho.
