    I didn't realize the Avon RoadRider II was tube friendly. Cool that may be my next tire.

    The spring kit was fitted and the pre load adjusters nice easy job that should have a decent result over the standard springs (hopefully) Those are not scratches on the big black nut its from the cloth I cleaned the fork oil off with

    New Headlight brackets fitted I think they look better than the horrible tin ones that come stock and I removed the fork gaitors as I think it looks better without them
    problem I had was the Tec Front Indicator relocation bracket did not fit so I made one that fits behind the rectifier looks ok does the job 4.jpg
