 Have to say thanks to Lee as well for the service and brake fluid change on Saturday. Brakes feel a lot better now the fluid has been changed.

And just to show how good a job lee did he noticed my ABS cables for the front brakes had been left hanging in the wheel arch. Looks like Jesty's had forgotten to re-attach the mounting point for the cable after my repairs earlier this year.

 I will post up some pics later of the engine striping and rebuild later. I got home at nearly 1am last night so not many miles.

 Had a look on your build website too Dave... loving the parts you have bought. Pistons are sooooooo nicely made.
