  1. Great result, looks the muts nuts. Such a great feeling when you can finally stand back and look at it finished and gleaming like that. :cool:

  6. Hi Sean. Thank you.
    Nice stablemate for your old bike. She’s still going strong BTW.
    Hope you and family are all well.
    Cheers. Richard

  8. Great transformation Richard:upyeah: I like the direction being a sympathetic restoration. Are you adding anymore performance upgrades? Or sticking with the same spec components :bucktooth:

  9. Cheers Dave.
    Funny you should ask as I have only this morning spoken to Nitron and ordered an R3 shock. All being well, should be with me in 3 - 4 weeks. Pics when fitted.

    Then it’s just new tyres as the ones on it although new are not the best.

  10. Maxton and Nitron and a few others are often overlooked for more mainstream branded kit! I’ve had a little experience with both and can say I was impressed with the quality and internal components used. Should make a big difference for you:upyeah:

  11. Very true. My Ohlins dealer is also a Nitron and KTech supplier. He reckons Nitorn are right up there for quality and, british too.
