Recently I have noticed the back end getting pretty rough and stiff, no not me, the bike!
I think my Hagon shock has shit the tin, so I am up for any recommendations for a good remote reservoir replacement please.
Happy to spend a few bucks to make the ride more enjoyable!
Also searching the bike for a gremlin, blew the fuses for indicators and tail. Cant find any rub points on harness, so let the fun begin!

Just a few more little bits trimmed up and looking better.
See if you can spotto them.
Been having a few little electrical gremlins, think i have tracked it to the ignition key, new one on the way.
Up to 11500 klms since I built it up, still surprises me with the rush of boost. Unlike any other bikes acceleration.
Smoked my mate on his 2000 mdl fireblade thismorn... hehehe...

Too much fun.

Go for it Zedturbo! I found it on fleabay, tail light assembly for a H#rley D, came with number plate mount. Turned light upsidedown. I have replaced it a few times as the LED's are cheap and some stop working, so I transplanted a better quality LED strip into it and sealed it up. Nice and bright now.
Thanks for the kind comments guys.

I think it turned out really nice :beer

I see you're using Road6 tires. What's your experience with them? In hot temperatures and even in the rain?
