Since i have been away working for a month,and was out for a run on sunday on the bike,i decided to give it a good clean yesterday.
If you are expecting some detailing thread,where i get my toothpick out to clean the threads on my valve caps-you ve came to the wrong thread 
it just got a good wash,polish,and plastics cleaned. mostly Meguiars/Autoglym stuff.
By the end of this month it will be getting tucked up in the workshop on its stands and its cosy blanket wrapped round it, but it will be getting a serious clean then wheels,fairings off etc)
hope you like 
BEFORE







AFTER

I think its more the size of the lettering thats the problem Graham 
Gorgeous bike though, I will be stepping up to a 600 (possibly a 650) when the man from the pru stops raping me

My mate has " Ridden by a twat" when he got pulled , the officer said "it couldnt be more correct"
my other mate has " Chief (as in Chief constable) i jist hid to"
My qoute is from the LEG-END that was/is Colin Mcrae, he said "If in doubt, flat out" but i had to give it a more scottish feel

Heres todays cleaning:
of course before i cleaned it i had to take it out and get it totally dirty, so it went clean-dirty-clean 
my next outing at the track is next weekend, cant wait, its been over a month!!!
i gave it a steam clean at the workshop then took it down to my parents house to give it a proper clean,then i started it up and took it up their street then back down, quite a lot of it on the back wheels,making a silly amount of noise ( the akrapovic full race system is REALLY loud, and when its on over run it pops,bangs,and splits flames when its hot and been getting thrashed)
ENJOY!! 






Unfortunatly i forgot to get before shots

Nice bike 
Maybe some stompgrips for the tank. Stop the leather marking it and they actually do work.

Its ugly cause there is too much going on, it looks too japanese if there is such a thing, dont take offence to the fact I dont like it, I know they are a cracking bike I just dont like the look of them or modern bikes in general
This is more like it
