And a little bit back on topic:

Block off plates fitted (and fitting the one on the back cylinders is almost a drop-the-engine job), a race BMC filter fitted, and opened some goodies! An Arrow Ti slip-on and ss mid-pipe (surprisingly reasonably priced), plus some 520 gearing and a lithium battery.

And a real treat - a new Matris rear shock! Unbelievable quality and again, very reasonably priced, this one from the new Aussie importer, Terry Hay. He was even nice enough to give me a free t-shirt! They are actually a bunch cheaper here from Terry than from the majors in the US. Plus he can tweak it to your liking, if need be (although they are hand-built to order in Italy to your own specs, so it should be pretty close). Can't wait to try it!!
