So, after a couple of months spanner twirling, managed to get the old girl out earlier this afternoon for an hour to make sure nothing rattled loose.
So work completed:
New 'pie-man' Ohlins shock spring by Revs
Complete overhall & polish of the Ohlins by Revs
Re-paint of the triangles
New clutch slave seal
Clutch slave body mirror polished
New front pads
Airbox mods
Polished up the hangers, cans & footpegs
New Smoked Screen
major wash & polish
Only been about 10 weeks since I last had her out, but hey it seemed so good to be back round the roads again
Got the day off on Tuesday so praying for more good weather, looks like I may have a run up country if it is.

Sorry - don't know what came over me there. Completely out of nowhere I had a bit of a T Rex moment...

You should have realised that after a good shakedown, all my equipment is in perfect working order.

Leave the suspenders to mrs OG, her springs are still working extreamly well (for her age!) Thank-you.
New leathers look quite good on her as well, early Xmas present (not sure it the present was for her or for me really
