33k on the clock and running sweet as a nut. Just need to get the lower pegs fitted (or get that bloody seat sorted) and we'll be cooking on't gas. :)

Some folk may recognise this as Rods' old bike - it's a bit cleaner now (sorry mate couldn't resist!!) man8um

Looks good. Which side was accident damaged? The sticker on the RS lower fairing panel looks like a 99/00 Injected one and the left side a 97/98 carbed.

You thought whoever fitted it would've got the same type.:lol:

The r/h side was damaged - I just picked up this panel off ePay for around 60 quid so can't really complain. Just need a good conidtion used nose cone now.

Front end's original.

I'm working up in Scotland for the whole of August so decided to bring the bike up. Gave her a good clean, treating her to some new bits and bobs including (finally) getting the rear shock sorted...

The shock works beautifully and comes with adjustable length as standard (a remote preload is also retro-fittable should I need it at any time).

Slightly de-clothed but not looking bad for 59000 miles young...

On the Ning Nang Nong
On the Ning Nang Nong
Where the Cows go Bong!
And the Monkeys all say Boo!
There's a Nong Nang Ning
Where the trees go Ping!
And the tea pots Jibber Jabber Joo.
On the Nong Ning Nang
All the mice go Clang!
And you just can't catch 'em when they do!
So it's Ning Nang Nong!
Cows go Bong!
Nong Nang Ning!
Trees go Ping!
Nong Ning Nang!
The mice go Clang!

What a noisy place to belong,
Is the Ning Nang Ning Nang Nong!!

The work of a genius - bless you Spike.

Couple of pics from yesterday...

Ta! Thanks for the offer, but I've got the originals sat in the garage somewhere - keep thinking I should put them back on but never seem to get round to it. :dunno:
