A proud Saturday.. she passed her MOT so we can get some miles on her in the next week and then the tank can get painted.

A few things to sort out still and a couple of advisories from the MOT but all good!

Yes rims are 2.1 and 2.5 rears, tyres are 90 fronts and 110 rear. I tried a 100/120 but I was concerned over the handling and this set up looks pretty good

Great job, nice use of black. The seat looks fantastic, a modern take on the old 2/4 seat. :)
