Ben-H Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 +1 for frame pictures. I was almost disappointed when I put the bodywork on mine, covering up all that nice aluminium and riveting! Did anyone else experience this or am I just odd !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben-H Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Create a photobucket account, then upload your pictures there. Copy and paste the link from photobucket into your post here. There's a good 101 here somewhere, sure someone will be along with the link soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
