It was the first time I'd polished it since I bought it (I'm ashamed to say!) and used the cheap (£10) Zymol from Halfords (well, I'm not going to use my Zymol Carbon on anything Japanese am I?
It also had the super light BBS forged X-spokes on it and I picked up those Speedlines off Scoobynet with decent Potenza rubber for £200 - the idea was to use them for trackdays. But when I saw how good they were, (and against all my preconceptions of Gold wheels) I put my 'comfort' road tyres on them (55 profile Toyos) and will use the BBS's for track days.
The seats were another Scoobynet bargain - and stop Skye moaning (well almost) when I loon it around.
The grill was chrome, but had started to flake so I wet 'n' dried it and sprayed it.
I'm trying to get a few things from Japan, but it's proving very difficult.

Mods so far are a Hayward & Scott rear box and de-cat centre pipe, the wheels and the seats. Suspension is next!

Big difference - firmer than standard, but still comfortable after a 200 mile run. The biggest difference is in lateral support - absolutely btilliant.
