Managed to buy the last indicator damper from Wemoto, thanks for the pointers.

Need a new battery and thought about getting a gel one - any recommendations?

Thanks again for all your help.

I last got a battery before the lightweight ones came in. I fitted a 600 one with more cranking power.
Kayla had a light one on one her bikes

I think it's one of these http://www.mdsbattery.co.uk/shop/produc ... roupID=838 I'd have to look at the bike to be sure - it's in the garage and I'm ill / off work at the moment so it would be at the weekend.

The standard battery is a YTX9-BS with 135 cold crank amps this is the YTX12-BS with 180 cca ... weighs an extra kilo but ok for a road bike

Well having used both Gel and Standard, I don't feel that the the Gel warrants the extra cost.

With the exception....If you are modifying the back end you can lay them down and they are smaller.

Hi folks, sorry for lack of posts but been up to my eyes in work and travelling.

First things first, seasons greetings to one and all.

Got all the panels, fairing and tank back from spraying and fitted everything. I am quite pleased. Just a few screws missing.

Tomorrow I hope to go for a ride and take some pictures.

I promise I will post if the foul weather allows me to take any pictures.
