It matches the red of the Yoshimura badge and the Yoshi and rearsets combo look good together.

Suffered the consequences of the £20 filler cap.



I know it's cheap but it's from a UK company and made in the UK so I expected better. Hopefully they sort it out.

Due to it not locking sellotape came to the rescue and will have to do for the next few days.
that looks and sounds like mine. Do please name supplier so I can check?

The more I look the more I like ... Tbh the main thing for me was more comfort that these have achieved by moving the pegs back 40mm ... Massive difference and no slop in linkages ... Feel great.

Don't undo the filler cap, they (halfords) said; catch it all it will, they said...
What a bloody mess. I was doing better with my old tactic of using mega-bendy flower trays and pouring it into milk bottles.



On the other hand I'm pretty happy with this result:



Rockers were replaced two years ago. If that is chrome there's really not much of it and inspection can wait for the next valve clearance check.

Plastic basin? Who has plastic basins - certainly not Armitage Shanks.

Cat litter trays from PetSmart or similar.

New Rearsets...






Mmm, tasty! Can you get black carbon with just the red R? Still coordinate but not OTT.

Looks great, sounds wonderful and seems to rev more freely? Maybe my imagination, but tyres are a great improvement over the Thai Road Winners........locally known as 'road killers'!

I don't use the metal kitchen basin for some reason. I still can work out why I use a basin within a basin

You use the basin within a sink.
Who calls the kitchen sink a basin? The same kind of people who have luch and dinner I'll wager.

You can check for chrome easily enough by elimination; steel is magnetic which leaves either chrome or aluminium, chrome reacts with battery acid, ally doesn't.

Don't let a small amount fool you though, I never found too much on the filter but had 9 rockers flake over the years. All sorted now with Newman cams stellite rockers.
