    Prepping the Mc22 for sale and went to clean the throttle cables and.... Well, some new ones are on the way. Makes sense why it didn't snap back though! Sort of derailed my plans of having the bike fully serviced and ready for sale. I'd change the oil but I prefer to warm it up first.

    Thought it would've sold by now @kiffsta.
    Don't want to swap it do you?

    Changed the clutch friction plates on the R6. Went for a little test ride and it's definitely better at low RPM.

    Grease bled out from the frame and messed up the powder coat 12946879_505704309632172_1263097801_o.jpg , doesn't matter much as you can't see it.

    Put some 'old school' headlights in the babyblade.

    This is what it had when I got it.

    [​IMG]

    Which is an interesting exercise, and if done a little better than the PO had.
    Could be a thing. Look at the new 390 Duke for twin projector lamps.

    Being an old fart that likes old stuff to look like old stuff.
    I bought some lights off your mate kiffsta.

    And put them this arvo.

    [​IMG]

    Looks so much better now. :D

    Although as I said, the projector lamps have potential with the right treatment.

    :) Rusty.
