Exhaust hanger arrived today so time to get the spannie down to bare metal and get it painted
Can need a really good flatting and repolishing aswell so that's my next job this weekend
Also got my fuel tank back off the guy that was welding up the small holes in
He's had it 6 months and not even touched it plus the fact I got it down to bare metal and it's been sat in his shed it's now a lovely shade of orange! I'm not impressed at all |

C'mon Grellow, pep up chap!
I reckon your bike is really coming on.
It's only just turned March, we got a good six - eight months to enjoy before it's back to thinking about laying the bike up for winter.
I dont like Nike but the 'Just Do It' theme seems relevant somehow ..
best of luck

Well it's been a long time since I've been on here
Lots of changes in my life but I still have the mito !
Pulled it from under its covers last week for the first time in about 2 years !
In the two years I've been searching for a perfect fuel tank as mine was well beyond repair
Picked one up today so hopefully I can get the mito running ASAP and crack on with the little bits that need finishing before I get it painted
