hi Al, Looks like your be beating me, Just wondering who's had their bike off the road the longest ??? Not that i'm trying to make it a competition or anything. But would be nice to get a prize for my patience....
Not long to go now I hope ....

.... until I get my bike back. I spoke to Glen at KJM and got an update on my bike.
So far, my new rims have been put on, both core plugs will be replaced, a stick coil replaced, rear lens replaced, mirrors replaced, a mod done to the chain guard carried out, tickover raised a little to see if that helps with the cutting out problem, rear suspension relubed and a general going over to make sure that everything is tickityboo will be done. No parts have had to be ordered from thhe factory so I'm hoping that in the next week then I should have her back ... just in time to pop in and visit Lloyd:lol

Sure
It's died down to a mild drizzle so I'll go find the camera, wheel the bike out and take a couple of happy snaps to stick on here. Back in a mo

Well I managed to get a couple of pics before the batteries died in the camera but they didn't turn out that good (a wee bit dark so I've had to lighten them using photoshop).

When the bike got dropped off to me I was told that Glen from KJM took her for a test ride after he'd fixed her and had said that it handles nothing like the bike used to. He said it handled more like an R1, but seeing as I haven't ridden an R1 before then that means nothing to me. I'm just hoping that over the course of the next few days we get some good weather so that I can try them out for myself
I have been warned to be very careful as the handling is a wee bit on the sharp side:eek

Having had a bigger rear sprocket fitted to make her pull a wee bit quicker wouldn't help either:lol

That black wheels look great Al!! but you definitly need some xtra carbon parts:rolleyes . That plastic mudguard & hugger is not done
I hope your Nelli will stay with you a little bit longer this time.
