Had a nice run out today before the winter service and check up quite cold on the way up the coast road to Alnwick

She is running spot on as well, but after I did the clutch I replenished the primary case with A.T.F. now I'm not sure weather that was a good idea so looks like when I am doing the winter service it will be drained

Put the plates on the side of the guard, like mine...think its look good... I don't like racks and boxes

The plates were there on the guard when I got the bike but I don't like them there and the only reason I put a box on my bikes is for its handy for Tools, packed lunch, and so on
