Nope he was tucked away where it was warm and dry

[K2-K6]

Looks really good,  hope the initial running doesn't deliver any problems.

Holed up in a warm workshop? A proper inspection department should be at 68f and it takes quite alot of tea to maintain the correct humidity levels. all in the interests of accuracy you see.

And legitimate business expense

The squeak will be back every time I think I've solved it it returns

Looks great Julie.

Sorted out the blowing exhaust headers and as a result, the hesitation when pulling away has 99% resolved itself. Just done 100 miles, no other issues presented at all. Keeping to a max of just over 60mph and 6000 rpm. This bike feels absolutely brilliant to ride and the engine is spot on.

Looks great Julie. Job well done, pat on the back I think. Long way to go on mine yet, hopefully will go as well as yours.  Very pleased for you.

[RGP750]

And my Fave colour for the 400, super job

Yes Ken, you are totally correct. I did remove them when I stripped them. Again, your also correct, in that photo, they are slightly off the horizontal. Those pics were taken after assembly but before I set them up. I actually noticed that flaps 2,3 and 4 would not close fully so i tweeked them on the adjusters to the horizontal which also let them close fully. Like you, I'm not sure if it makes much difference but as No.1 is fixed I thought I better get them all the same.
