Thank you, I own my dream bike, I should have had one of these back in the day but I spent all my money on car insurance! Oh the days of 1200 premiums...

Nicely done, looks very clean and 'stock'.

Bet that'll be a blast round Llandegla :xmas-big-grin:

nice blast from the past too. I remember riding chris porters LTS DH with mr.dirt forks & thought I was going to go over the bars when the forks compressed funny how trail bikes are running this much travel now
