Actually Tony Archer couldn't have been less interested if he tried..
Told me to buy a seat cover from Z Power and do it myself....

Bit of an update: Looked into getting the seat recovered, but due to their sale pricing I have ordered a PMC seat from Saisei. I'll probably still get the Ltd seat recovered in the future. Even though I said I wasn't going to be doing much I have been having a go at cleaning up the bare alloy on the...

Just what I was going to ask...

Don,

Just noticed you raced under no13.....

Bit of an update: o Given the bike a good clean and polish and coated the chrome and alloy in ACF50 as I don't have any time to do much with it until at least April o Upon further inspection, the brown stuff in the petrol tank is not rust, it's just residue o The 'modification' to the wiring harness...

Doing an A4 meself,your choice, but with so many original parts seems a pity to go the modified route,good a4 s are comanding good money and with subtle upgrades are a very nice riders bike.Phil Turner P&k seats would sort the seat, I think you are correct - I need to keep it as standard as pos...
