post number 4 Exige, Aug 25, 2014 Having completed some test bends over the weekend I now have an accurate method of bending the T45 seamless tube with minimal tube distortion. Starting on bending the left hand frame tube today but no spare tube now - so it will have to go well :Wideyed:

Panto season hasn't started yet

Oh yes it has

You could not be more wrong.

I remember a much longer one - whatever happened to that guy?

There has never been a longer one silly - it would be impossible

Perhaps the guy involved is in denial over the whole saga?

That might explain the discrepancies.

Sensible decision.

Managed to get the tail tidy off the bike tonight, I'd had a quick go the other week, but the first two M4 button head screws rounded & felt extremely tight so I left that job until a later date !
Anyway, the adaptors should be here very soon so I needed to have another go & expecting the worst I was somewhat surprised to find the two screws that I'd tried previously were the only two "problem" screws. I had to drill the heads off them, but the remaining screws all came out without any problems !
So after dismantling it & removing the original Kawasaki indicators it's all ready for the adaptors, when they arrive & the new Triumph indicators.

All fitted & working, even went out to Matlock today too !!

Picked the machined mudguard mounts up today & fitted them. I was going to get them anodised black, but I think I prefer the "natural" look, for now at least.

I can always get them anodised at a later date if I change my mind, purple did also cross my mind, to match the rear spring which I know some of you really like !!

Ignore the fork bottoms being recoloured. Alan (now known as Silas) can be a bit of a moron at times.

You got lucky this time, Alan/Silas!
