The seat cowl decals with the exup are very hard to apply, apparently they have to be stretched & it even took the guy in the decal shop 2 attempts to get it right. I sorta fell out with the shop owner as originally he wanted £120 for the decals which I told him basically where to go & reluctantly paid him £100. I,d rather personally not go to the shop again but can give you the number if you like & maybe they can do a set for you.



The small fairing bolts all got renewed with flange button head screws they look nice, the larger ones you should also be able to order online, mine were ok so I left them. Thanks for the pic of the bracket, I,ll take the panels off again & have another look. :up:


If I can afford it I,ll keep this bike as its nice & it really doesnt owe me a great deal of money, going to list a 350lc & the vfr800 tommorow & if they sell I should be ok.

Looking really nice Hipringle.
I had a 2TK system on the project 3en2 and it sounds nice ... changes note at 8000

Why thank you Boris, to be honest I,ve revved it but havent had the bike on the road yet, it feels light as a feather pushing it round in & out the lock up lol. If the bikes I have listed sell the 2tk will be getting mot,d & kept for myself alongside the ducati. My 955i is also a nice bike but its big & heavy & I,m just a grown up dwarf so after I rag it up scotland & france it might be sold for something a bit more nimble, who knows I might just be able to use the 2tk for our spirited rideouts with the gixxer crew I know & might not need another bike.

Time will tell.

Not really worth £1200 to me ... if you want a 2TK it would have to be very good for that money.
You could have a reasonable 3TJ02 ... SP for that

aye that 2tk on fleabay has decals that dont line up properly if you want to go anal about it. also major scuff on engine casing & fairings dont join properly at the bottom,front nose cone looks glassfibre, non standard can on too lol.

Recon mines better & I value mine at £800 or thereabouts..
