I was just going to mention it here with an intro - but it's done.

Good read.
I have done most of the things he has done.
Hagon front progressive springs with a tad harder oil. Wibers rear shock. These make the bike a much better road bike.
Scot oiler fitted, new X Ring chain with standard sprockets.
Seat re-shaped and double foam, I wanted the bike a tad higher.
Heated grips, LED riding lights sited under the headlight, just to give some more light to be seen.
Issota screen, I like a taller screen.
Stainless wheel spacers.
And a sprinkling of bling and bits that I like.


Cheers Dave.
