Nice bike, pristine looking, good value for money no doubt. The power of dreams eh? Can not beat it. I love the Honda thing, with certain models they sure connect bang on with the sweet spot. Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh at Hawes.

Hi Dave - the pipes are actually a dull finish which I rather like. Trouble is, I know if I start polishing them they'll need to be kept polished and being so complicated in shape I really can't be arsed (Bob'll disown me!!).
The Motad pipes do colour-up slightly on first use and I really like the look of them now. The quality if finish is a lesson to OEM manufacturers that's for sure.

Richard I tried to polish the rear cylinder pipes and they were a bugger to get to shine - admittedly I didn't spend much time and I got them cos they were cheap direct from Motad. Will be a winter fitment job so we'll see

Took the bike for a spin of 50 miles or so this morning, the brakes now feel a whole lot better. On stopping, the r/h disc is still hotter than the left but it's nowhere near as bad as it was. Hopefully it's sorted now.

Just sold it last night.
Have had a go at a vfr800 on ukgser, 3900 miles from new in silver. Good price too. Got blackbird too and probably selling the rt shortly, as may go for something like an fjr.. but prob another rt lol

Was going to put this in the '35mm scans' thread in photo corner but it's a bike therefore it's here. This is one of the first off the roll with my new (to me) Olympus OM-2n and a scan of the negative. Tiny bit of tweaking in LR5 but otherwise minimal b*ggering about with. I'm fairly pleased with the result:
