It should have been "sine die" and not let on any race track again. Send out a message.

I like that screen, which one is it and does it protect you at all ?
Cheers

I will have a look tomorrow for a make, its one I had given to try out. For the size of it, it makes a massive difference especially with mine having US bars on. It takes the strain off your neck when just sat at 80/90 No doubt would be even better with UK bars. I wouldn't want to be without it now. I would replace it immediately if something were to happen to it. I had to reshape and re-drill the fixing points to drop it down so it sat closer to the headlamp.

I had a ride to Bridlington today and stopped to take this pic at the bottom of Garrowby Hill.

If temp fit one with a led in then you are less likely to leave it switched on.

25amp is plenty big enough for the ignition switch.

Never been into rat bikes or the like, but that one I would have given garage space to. Or just left it outside to enhance its looks.  A 450 single under the Brandy Snap.

This was at the OGRI rally a couple of weeks ago. Not everyone's cup of tea I know, but on close inspection a shit load of time has gone into it to get the look. It was ridden there from Poland.

Have the same issue with my CB750K7...
Not sure for values of your weight you provided (stone - is that kind of slang, equal to feet of what? Sorry that I don't understand...)
My weight is 80kg (naked  )
Where are you located Erny ? not in the UK i would guess. 1Kg = 2.2lbs(pounds), 14lbs = 1stone, (old british weight measurement). Personally i can't get to grips with a persons weight in kg, too long in the tooth  80kg means nothing to me, i have to convert it to stones to know if you are a lightweight or a fat b*stard like me (16stone)
I live in Slovakia, we use metric system only. I knew about pounds, pint, gallon, ounce, inch, foot, yard, mile.. But never heard about stone. For me stone = rock 
But now I learned something new - thanks for that!
Looking at wiki right now  
Just to add to the fun do not forget. The US gallon is used in the United States and is equal to exactly 231 cubic inches or 3.785411784 litres The Imperial gallon or UK gallon is used in the United Kingdom and is equal to approximately 277.42 cubic inches. Its exact value is defined as 4.54609 litres One imperial gallon is approximately 1.2 US gallons.

5ft tall x 80kg = fat bastard . 6ft tall x 80kg = bastard. 6ft 6 inches x 80kg = skinny bastard. I hope this helps a little.

By way of an update, I have just added a 5w oil to my forks and the bounce has in fact reduced quite considerably.
I'm not saying I have in fact cured it yet as I would like a second opinion on the 're Truing ' of the wheels by someone.
Another issue I guess mentioned by a previous party was that we should not I guess expect too much from these bikes, they are heavy, old tech and should not be compared to a modern machine. I find I am doing this constantly with the ride and the engine noises and quite frankly it drives you a little mad.
You want to try going for a ride on something old then.

A frequently done misconception.
All adding spacers does is limit the amount of travel in a spring. It doesn't stiffen springs at all. The spring rate is the spring rate no matter how many spacers are put in.
Do not confuse a springs, spring rate with a springs, load/design rate.

I think lot depends on who you buy your import from, by what I've seen some are a little more unscrupulous than others to say the least.
