That's an absolute beaut, Tony. I've always been a fan of the blue ones, but yours is without doubt the best I've seen.

My first was a blue one. Brings back happy memories does that.
I'm right 98% of the time so why worry about the other 3%?

Looks nice in the blue..
Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

very nice indeed but not bronze
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

Thanks for the compliments about colour etc. but I have to admit to being lucky, this how the bike came I have done nothing to it.
The screen, bellypan, K&N and the 15 tooth front sprocket were all things I had budgeted for but the bike had them all, really lucky.
Just waiting for a Firestorm side stand off fleabay and it will be complete.

..... other than the rear shock
(nice matching colour but that's it's only redeeming feature)

Maxton is good race spec stuff usually, depending on the model. Blue is also the colour of the original Falco shocks - and they are made of plastercine!
If it's a Maxton I don't think you should worry - in fact you should be even more pleased with your purchase.

I am sure it is a Maxton as the guy wrote down all that has been done to the bike in the back od the service book.
I am more than happy with the bike and it gets better each day just a shame I am running out of days to ride it.

In that case the rest of the bike matches the looks of it. You've got a very well sorted (and very smart) bike there. Well done and many happy rides out..
