Yes, it was a hoot - but going on the route I normally take my BM's on exposed the need for better suspenders on the Mk2 - will have to get that Wilbers unit put on my Niner & take that for a spin. Boy's yeller one has Ohlins back & front - but that might change before he he gets his hands on it ÂÂ - it's going for a restrictor kit to be fitted next week - I know it's a simple job, but need that letter from a dealer to prove it for insurance purposes.

Anyway, what was the  grey engine paint people use to freshen them up - fecking thing looks like it's got leprosy .....I know Waspy looked after it, but the next owner has a lot to answer for cosmeticallyÂ
Dablik's just bought an M-shock fer his mk1, might be worth a punt at £350. Yeah, a swap over of suspenders on the 9'er seems a sensible idea.
 I'd also wait a month or two before painting the engine, going off his track record.
 I think ChrisR found a matching paint from Halfrauds, can't remember what colour it was, might have even been frame paint thinking on. :unsure2:
