A good mechanic does not forget to attach the cable to the back brake.

Looks like a nice thing.

I don't think I've ever seen a rear brake MC like that one with an integrated res.

Some Honda CRFs have an integrated MC, I've fitted one to the TDR.

I really don't like the look of remote reservoirs on MCs, Possibly because they just look like an afterthought. I see the reasons for them, I just don't like them.

That looks cool, but once again, the fairing will do fuck all .

LOL, I forgot to add a line to the original post saying Yozza will be along in a moment to comment on the usefulness of the fairing!

I wouldn't buy a quick road bike without one. Form before function is just stupid.

Is the MC intentionally a smiley face, or is that a coincidence?

Can't see KFBs picture, but I assume it's the low mileage FZ in Ipswich, no one I know locally knows who's it is, and no one has seen it, lowers are after market.

I've spent the day with a 1994 NSR250 used by Dajiro Kato, sadly the owner wasn't willing to let me have a go on it - I did ask.
