    Replaced front indicators, replaced all brake calipers and bled brakes, fixed front brake lever. Just waiting on new ignition switch and need to fit new rear guard liner with reflector holder intact (of which I have) it always seems that people cut this off.
    Oh yeah better give it a wash.

    Soon the bike will be 100% original except for the muffler.

    The bike wont be going to the track, if I do decide to register it it might go out 2 of 3 times a year at most for a group ride.

    I have enquired about the availability of the Dunlops, waiting for Raceway in Essendon to get back to me. I will probably go with your recommendation. I only really know about performance car tyres.

    Thanks for the recommendation.

    Race Centre helped me with my Dunlop Alphas for my mc22 a few years back.
    Sensible price, fitted and balanced. Also good advice on expected performance.
