The beast is back!!

Well, the beast is back after a long lay off! I had an overheating problem all through last year that I chased. It would run great for ages then overheat, but the temp was held steady at 100 with the fan override on. Anyway, to cut a long story short, it was the rear head gasket, so I pulled her apart for a winter rebuild. I sort of got side tracked and ended up changing/adding a few more things:
  • Black marvics changed to gold Marchisinis
  • Blue samcos changed for black(I didn’t trhink the blue were in keeping with an SP5)
  • New be-spoke rear disc made to match corsa style
  • Underseat tray removed and new carbon one made
  • Rear light replaced with solid billet one(complete with LEDS)
  • New numberplate hanger/indicator assembly made
  • And the piece de resistance: FULL carbon bodywork
  • Front indictors replaced with leds in handlebar ends and airs scoops
  • New front discs
  • Roche screen
