Brotherhood of the Beemer hear my confession. Insanity! Distraction! or Just Early Stage dementia I am not sure......
Last Sunday I took off the rear tail piece,(which I had so lovingly created using a broken tail from an RS instead of the slightly clumsier tail from the LT), In order to fit some additional Indicators to satisfy the MOT gods. Fitted the indicators and later that evening went for a short run down a fast dual carriageway for a "check everything was OK" joy ride. Got back home minus the tail!!!!
Went back out and recovered it.
And this.......

Oh and me that has to bear the bits falling off criticism and the "what else haven't you done up" Jibes from her in doors.
I quickly knocked up an alternative tail from the LT one that I hag in the Garage (As you Do). But it doesn't fit the seat properly. I managed to get another rs tail unit from DJ Ewen which I will start work on this week.
Apart from that the bike is finished and on the road and getting better every time I ride it. I will take the time to take some more photos etc and paste them up when I get time.
