Don't have a price yet but I'm probably going to ship it off to RCV4 to get it vapour blasted so it should look really good once it's done. It'll be coming off in 3-4 weeks so I'll pop up a sale ad once it's off and cleaned.

As a guide price though I bought my last two single can TSR systems for £350 and £375 so it'll be in that ballpark I'd imagine.

I think it has standard headers but the rest is TSR, so far all 4 TSR systems I've had have been like that.

White, looks nice but makes the bike look a bit toy ish
Black, looks tough and IMO looks right for the style of bike
Gold, just works

Well it's up on stands at the moment waiting for it's new boots and colour change. Got a good chance to clean the discs yesterday and they've come up like new.

Right RVF#2 is now finished, just waiting for it's MOT tomorrow. Also swapped the wheels round and I have to say I much prefer them as they are now.

Will now have to concentrate on getting the Seed RVF finished now :-)

Failed it's MOT today on notchy Head bearings so I'm about to order some new ones tonight? Should I use original ones or will pattern parts off ebay be alright?

Will probably get some new brake seals as the brakes were binding at the front as well and the chain and sprockets are at the end of their life, although I can't blame them they are the original set :grin:

Went down the original OE Honda bearings in the end as you can't go wrong with them can you.

Ordered a nice C&S kit for it as well with some new pistons and seals to go into the brakes.

It's got a retest in a couple of weeks so it'll be a busy two weeks in the garage every night.
