Ellz

What do you want..a tail tidy or no tail tidy? The more you take off the more likely you are to have the fastest 1125, unless you take the wheels off.

https://www.twinmotorcycles.nl/artikele ... 20&aid=838 Thats a bloody good advert for having your bike serviced on time and by someone who knows what they are doing. Now how fast do those 1125s go :?

Pretty impressive blow up. Oil looks filthy too. No doubt a very neglected bike, what a shame.

Not at all. I am quite comfortable doing my own servicing / stripdowns / buildups. But if i ever feel i'm out of my depth ie a full crank out stripdown then i'm 5 miles / 8km from maz and i have complete faith in his level of skill and knowledge (Where is the vomit emoticon) :hehe:
