Doubt you'll see this at the Pod. . . only been once and thought it was a s**t hole tbh. . . the roads to it and once on site are awful.
You'll have to wait until FordFair

looking good, still going well? the only thing i can fault is the boost pipe, looks a little unfinished IMO, would prehaps benefit visually from a change, too much straight silicon.

Faultless really, just keep checking everything over making sure everything is tight. Had a few bolts work loose, there now all lock tighted.
Love it, just not got time to use it in the week hence looking forward to the shows to put some more miles on it.
The boost pipes work.
