Time for a new paintjob and some trick bits and mods.

Was helped along by half a house brick in the road as i overtook a car on the by pass near home,You live and learn.I was due an off as it has been a while and if i`m honest i was probably getting too cocky in the way i rode home from work.

Already looking at what i can do to make it special and i was talking to a chap with an Aprilia who says they all fit futura single sided swingers to the RSV`s so as Raptor owners seem to like fitting RSV swingers then it stands to reason that the futura single sided item should fit and maybe an under seat pipe with an MV set unit,rear sets etc etc etc.

well sounds like your planning ahead and in need of spanners and grease and thankfully not plaster casts, lessons learnt and you will have an interesting winter ahead of you, looking forward to getting all the goss :)

Like the sound of MV rear end as they are generally sex on wheels :mrgreen:

good luck with it all
