hanford-
Thanks. Glad it’s one step closer to passing the MOT!!
I was so tired I nearly fell asleep trying to rewatch Twist II last night. Glad I got through the first hour though, reminded me of good practice.
Took the bike out for a few miles after errands, try get my cornering better. I really forced myself to ease off the throttle less. Counter-steer first, let the bike lean, and not be afraid of the turn, relying on smooth throttle control. It was so nice and dry. No fear letting the bike tip over and keep the pressure on the counter-steer as I accelerated through and out the corners.
Of course, tiny little bike, gotta translate that to the Bandit on Sunday AM.

Arrived next-day. Appears to be made of high quality Chinesium. Gonna have to try remove the studs and old loud boi now.
New forks also arrived, not opened that box yet. I planned to get the mechanics to fit the forks just cos.
Edit: 11am update. Fitted new exhaust with the help of the angle grinder; the header pipe end was 11.3mm not 10.3mm so decided it should be trimmed for maximum whatever. Seems relatively okay. Anyway. Sounds pretty alright, sounds like it has no EU regulations attached.
